Been doing a spot of gardening....

[keane]

Can i feed earthworms to my fish (gourami, blue rams, bolivan rams, kribs, corys and also some platys and swordtails I have in another tank?

Obviously I will clean them thoroughly but can I use them and do i have to chop them up etc to feed them?

let me know

cheers

Yar, chopping them up will be fine. You can probably freeze any you have left over.

Just be absolutely 100% sure that no insecticides, weedkillers or fertilisers have been used in the area you found the worms.

 

[GSD]

you could poison the fish if theres any insecticide as SirMinion said!

Oh don't worry Sir...I am sure.

I hate gardening and haven't touched it for years so there's definitely no chemicals on there!!

i fed an earthworm to mine last week, my piranhas didnt bother, but the firemouth gobbled it right up.

i was tempeted to throw in this huge albino catapiller i found under the soil when i was turning my flowerbed, it was like a huge termite grub, but figurted it would probably just drown and lay at the bottom or spill out some ####ty goo or something

They will probably enjoy them, just chop them up in small pieces and freeze them.
