cicadas

[quack]

now that the cicada are out ive been catching them and feeding them to my oscars and jag, they seem to like and eat them but im just wondering if they are actual good for them and not bad.

thanks for the help

circadas are very very good- perhaps the best insects to feed live fish. At the zoo we catch them to feed our Pacu and arowana

We have fed the odd one or two to our Oscar in the past, yum yum munch

apparently very high calcium to phosphate ratios in comparison to other insects or something like that

sweet cos around the house theres millions of them :bounce:

my mother has told me Frank (my oscar) likes locusts better than praying mantis (apparently he likes the crunchyness). shes the primary insect feeder and often goes on specific catching missions just for Franky because hes 'giving her the look' :roll: :lol:

I used to feed my malawis circadas every summer they loved them

The tank used to erupt water everywhere

Didn’t do them any harm at all
