They are commonly eaten by soldiers(if available) for survival food. I guess its that nutritious.

Worms are Mostly moisture....

Carnivore and massivore pellets have higher protein content, at least twice more. Better for dat growth.

I looked at grubco.com, and it listed several worm nutritionl values.

I agree. But they just ignore the carnivore pellets.

I appreciate the grubco reference. Thanks.

How do you even soak pellets? They get puff up or melted into tiny fragments!

it's easy, deforst the frozen shrimp in a bow and then take out the shrimps and use the water you left in the bow.
add the pellets in there untill it puffs up alittle but it smells just like shrimp then feed it to the fish, i had most success with this. for once it actually swim up to it but fail to take it down. then since it never did it again.

Interesting, dried meal worms...hmmm?

So are they sold dead kind of like freeze dried shrimp or krill? I've never heard of that before. Is there a particular brand name?

Thanks. That is very enlightening.
