ally07 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi all I've just been wondering to myself recently what the rest of you thought of mealworms as part of a fish's diet..? Personally, I reckon that of all the insects that are fed to fish, mealworms are the easiest to raise and catch to feed, not to mention the fact that they are the easiest to gut load with pellets. Henward has sworn to me that feeding his RTG live food has triggered some sort of instinctive hormonal growth spurt (a claim that I'm currently trying on my green) and I figure, if nothing else, live food just helps the fish retain some of its natural hunting instinct. However, I've also heard comments from people that mealworms have little nutritional value and are high in fat. I wonder though, how much truth is there to these claims? Curious to hear what you guys think about feeding/ not feeding mealworms to your fish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally07 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Firstly, too lazy (lol) and secondly, I've always found that earthworms are so hard to clean before feeding.. So much hassle for such a little worm! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
