ally07 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi all Since the weather has started turning, I've been noticing more and more slugs hanging around the garden which really annoy me lol. Since I'm constantly on the lookout for new types of fish food, I was curious: are they edible for fish? I'm thinking that theoretically yes, since they are similar to snails and some fish eat snails without any problems. But at the same time I'm worried that the slime could be either poisonous or just bad for the fish. Anybody know anything about the issue or tried feeding slugs before? All comments appreciated!

supasi Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have a book here all about live foods and it suggests boiling and chopping them. I cant stand the things so there is no chance I will ever try to boil one myself. Give it a go and let us know http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Live ... 0876660936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I used to feed them to my turtles but have never fed them to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally07 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Eww.. I barely want to touch them, so I think boiling and chopping is out of the question, haha! Maybe I'll road-test one on my oscar first haha, he's quite tough.. Next slug I see is a gonner! ..I'll let you guys know what happens.
