Although I haven't updated my betta's photos for months, he is okay.
Currently, I feed my Betta splendens, every weekend, with live adult brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana, from my successful culture I have maintained since March), sometimes I also substitute the shrimps for tiny black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens), also from my compost cultures.
A few days ago, I made a small mosquito trap for trying to catch... bloodworms (Chironomidae). Instead, I got several aquatic larvae, which species is probably Megaselia sp.. Also, I'm seeing the common worms that appear in my tank (probably Dero sp.). These last ones I also don't know about their nutritional value, although my betta eats when it spots them.
I didn't take photos, but these larvae are similar to the ones I got in another homemade experiment (date format: dd/mm/yyyy):
Does anyone know if these larvae are okay for feeding my betta? Thanks for attention!
