BUGS FOR FISH?

[felipe]

okay, lets say i found an ant outside of my house and i have some goldfish, would it be ok if i fed the ant to my goldfish?

 

[reefrunner69]

Doubt the goldfish would eat the ant or even notice it. I have fed crickets to some meat eating fish before. I would also be concerned about the possibility of the ant stinging the goldfish.

 

[felipe]

dude, a cricket? your goldfish must be cool haha

 

[reefrunner69]

Wasn't fed to goldfish...fed them to cichlids.

 

[felipe]

oh right, "meat eating" sorry man

My pond goldfish/koi love insects. I sit out there with a flyswatter, and hit anything that touches the patio and throw it in. They love that. Nothing better than spending a nice evening by the pond swatting flys for the fish.

If you think about the nature of the thing, bugs end up in the water and someones got the eat them. I know one fish that would eat them: PUFFERS! They like human flesh, i learned that the hard way not too long ago.

ANYBODY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! TALL ME IF IT"S OK TO FEED BUGS TO MY GOLDFISH

 

[ConanTheLibraia]

I dunno try it.

 

[felipe]

WHAT IF THE DIE?

 

[RogerMcAllen]

If they die, don't feed them more. Try maybe pieces of worm before whole things. Just pinch the worm with your thumb nail against your index finger and poof, two worms.

 

[reefrunner69]

yes it is perfectly fine to feed bugs to your fish, I just don't think ants are a good idea.

i feed my puffer meal worms all the time. i don't think ants are a very good idea. many ants are armed with venom of some sort.

Our cichlids eat anything they love algea, staple flakes, cichlid pellets, crickets, superworms, houseflys, you name it they eat it, ; ) the only thing I have had issues with was tubefix worms caused malawi bloat, but that was long back before I knew better. :?
