Right so i woke up this morning and i began my usual morning routine and about 9:30am began my regular walk to work. On the way i couldnt help but notice millions of ant holes everywhere on the way, that were unusually large/wide. I thought nothing odd of it at the time, i have no idea why i was looking at the floor, but anyway....At work (i work outside 50% of the time) i was constantly under sieze from millions and millions of flying ants. Obviously its that time of year when they randomly appear for a short space of time, thats when the unusually large ant holes were about. Well it hit me - catch em' and feed em' to my fish. So when i got home today i rounded up a few that were all over the garden and i just threw them into my 3ft, which has 3 Boesemani Rainbows, 5 Clown Loach, 3 Angels and my 6" male EBJD and his 4" female JD breeding partner. Oh my, they went absolutely nuts for it. My Boesemani's were actually leaping out the water from the force at which they sped to these ants and gulped them up.

I was expecting them to be eaten, but never a frenzy such as what i saw. Anyone else tried this?
 
I might give it a whirl! Sounds like the best use of Ants ever! Mine are currently on a bit of live bloodworm, with the addition of Ants it will be a right feast! :good:

I have to admit the sight of those large beastly flying ants squiring around in the swirling current fighting to get out is rather satisfying. You think it can't get any better, then WHAM...its been torpedo's by a fish :P The remaining few that scramble to safety on a floating plant didnt last either they were taken out in equally brutal fashion by my Dempsey :) Give it a whirl for sure!
 
I had a similar idea to yours actually. I had some maggots laying around the garage fridge, and I knew I wasn't going to make fishing for a few weeks. Next minute, my little lovelys are digging into a bit of maggot!

I froze some aswell, they seemed to like that too. Especially my old Filament Barb! (sent him to someone with a shoal though :good:)
