It is not often I feed live food, mostly because I don't frequent the LFS unless I need something. The other reason is they are an absolute pain in rear for prepping and dumping into the tank (compared to dry or frozen food) but man oh man is it fun watching the fish chow down on it.
 
Ummm... to educate people who have not ever used live foods on a good reason to do so?

I honestly don't know. I just behaved in a way Rhod Gilbert described as "how women do not have a filter between brain and mouth, its just "think speak, shh.... (swear word) spew""

I am going to blame it on brain rot caused by 16 hours of my children complaining, moaning and whining in my ear.
 
Hope you dont feed them goldfish, they contain a growth inhibiting hormone. Just a heads up ;-)
 
Im strictly bloodworm, daphnia, brine shrimp and any fry that spawn in the tank before I notice them :D
 
Some of the best fun I have had is watching my corys hunting down live mozzie wrigglers. To start with the corys will just bumble into the wrigglers and then once they realise the food is getting away from them the determined hunt is on. Tetras and rainbow fish are also fun to watch take out live wrigglers with their speeding torpedo attacks at the wrigglers while they are still near the surface. Remind me a lot of tuna chasing a bait ball of smaller fish.
 
Oh right, I thought you meant you had predatory fish and fed them live fish. Silly me;-) my community tank goes mad as soon as they see that bloodworm!
 
Aye, watching tetras stuffing as much mosquito larvae into their mouths as they possibly can is amusing. Cichlids tend to be more sedate predators of them.
 
This is a really random question, especially in this post buuuttt:

See the little message above the avatar/profile pic, do they still change with post increments?
