Whenever it rains we get hundreds of slugs in my area - quite disgusting seeing them all over the pathways and streets.

Never knew you could feed them to fish - only problem is I could never bring myself to actually pick one up. Eeew!

Is it only the larger fish that eat slugs? And do you put them in the tank alive? Do you wash them first to get any grit/dirt off? (eugh, now I'm making myself feel ill...LOL)

I truly believe that slugs are not the right food for YOUR fish.
