joff_nz Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 On a somewhat related note are there any bugs we shouldnt feed to fish? Ive been giving my convicts all sorts of moths flys spiders, even a cockroach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 When I was breeding a lot of fish I used to feed out wingless fruit flies. Only some fish go for them and they are the top feeders which can usually be identified by their mouth. Guppies love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discusnoob Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I dont know how many flies I can pop against the glass, the eggs from the fly spewed out and they were tasty treats for the smaller middle fish No way can i catch and breed fruit flies, keeping white worms is bad enough for my partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Get one of those fly zapper things. Zap 'em then drop 'em in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discusnoob Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 nah, my fish will not eat the fly unless the guts and eggs are spewing out, if i dont pop the fly it just floats around on the top until i remove it once popped they go nuts for the stuff coming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
