Bread worm??? Can't Post

Hi guys,

Does anyone ever try on the bread worm (that one sold very commonly in any LFS) to give an extra source of protein?? If yes, then how about the result??Tongue

yo fff,

i just feed them 2~3 times once a week and 1 time per day.......because after feeding with it, is will leave out some white debrids.....so afraid might make the water bad....Frown

Ohh... I dont feed them regularly only once in a while but in a row of a few days continously.. so not so concern. its more like a treat for them then a stable food....

I dont see the white debris but jus afraid that they have heart attackCrazy or high blood pressureLaugh becos of the richness in protein and fat. heheee Wink

Dear menghun

Bread worm ??? are they the same as meal worms ??

about an inch long grub kinda gold colour with legs ??

I have fed them a few times the fish seem to relish em but they do die pretty quickly in water so best to hand feed them, although they do wiggle alot.

Nice as a treat once in a while.
