Feeding live foods

[smileyface9]

Any opinions on feeding live foods? I have frozen foods and flake foods. I don't have money for live foods right now, but for future possibilities on live foods does anybody have any opinions on feeding fish live foods? I was thinking about starting out with live brine shrimp??

Live brine shrimp are great. My fish get them every other day. I grow my own shrimp. There are lots of others as well like daphia,black worms,bloodworms,tubifex worms,guppies,feeder comets,rosey reds.

I also feed blackworms,live ghost shrimp and bloodworms.

The worms I feed are called red wigglers. Google them to find more about them. But yes you can feed worms from your garden. I just perfer to buy them as I have thousands of fish to feed. ( not enough time to dig for worms)
When you do get the worms from your garden put them in a box for 2 days with some newspaper so they can purge themselves of any waste that is there system. Then feed away.
Depending on your fish you will have to chop them up into bite size pieces.

Thanks what about the worms you can buy if you were to go fishing? Is that bad for them or okay? Is it better or worse than garden worms?
