Hey everyone, I just wanted to know what your favorite live food you like to feed you fish. The only live food I fed to my fish was mosquito larve to my tiger barbs, and live earth worms to my young green terror. I want to know what live food is low in cost, high in nutrients, and fun to feed your fish. Go ahead, don't be shy, list the live food you feed your fish!

Depends on my fish...I think they are all fun to feed live to.

My pickerel eats anything small and silvery that hits the water...

My butterfly fish hammer crickets

My sunfish eat small mealworms and earthworms

My leopard bushfish eat earthworms, guppies, and anything else small enough to fit in their mouths lol.

That is dependent in what fish and for what reason (general health or conditioning to spawn).

I feed earthworms as a treat to my catfish and I feed live mosquito larvae and blackworms to condition my spawning groups.

Depends on fish species. My walleye loves leeches, earthworms and feeder fish while my bullhead loves shrimp and crayfish. My sunfish gets maggots, mealworms and waxies.

Depending on the size of the fish, everything from vinegar eels, walter worms, microworms, baby brine shrimp, daphnia, grindal worms, blackworms, mosquito larvae, maggots, earthworms, etc. can be used.
