I was curios on what live foods people are using.
I am collecting mosquito larvae- for all fish
Small earthworms- cories and angels
Phishphreek has given me some daphina that I raise and have really taken off in a 5gl and harvest every other day- angels
Baby brine shrimp- baby fish (I feed decapsulated while waiting for new batch)
In the past Phishphreek gave me some vinegar eels that I lost when reorganizing my room: those did good but I never figured out how to harvest them.
I bring this up because earth worms are really hard to get the right size and I was wondering if there was an easy alterative. I heard of white worms and grindel worms and was wondering if anyone had any experience with those.
My friend has an Oscar about medium size that he feeds anything that's alive to. Worms, feeder fish, shrimp, crickets, mosquito larva, grubs, lizards, spiders, cockroaches, grasshoppers, frogs, any bugs, and one time a 1 inch perch from his pond.
There is also this article that says if you age brine shrimp eggs for a year unopened they all turn to 100% hatch rate. Not shur if it is true, I will find it.
