A few days ago I was trying to gather tadpoles to raise. I made a mistake and gathered up mosquito pupae instead :).

On the up side, I realized that these things were quite good for tiger barbs and we slowly fed them to the tiger barbs. The tiger barbs LOVED them. A win-win.

So now I'm in a new situation. My back yard is suddenly inundated with tiny gypsy moth caterpillars. We're talking about barely 2/16th of an inch long. I shot this with a good macro lens.

Can I feed *these* to my tiger barbs? Or are they like ants in that they have unhealthy acids or something in their bodies?

Thanks!
