Ahh a leech!

i was wondering if anyone has experience keeping leeches.
i have seen some 1 inch ones swiming around in the water while flyfishing. to me they look cool swiming through the water. How would i feed one?

with your finger or arm. Just let it suck on you for a while.

l That actually isn't a bad idea. You don't even feel leeches. I'm seriously not kidding.

OR. beefheart might work. You sure they arn't planeria?

A planeria wouldn't be one inch long and you prolly wouldn't be able to see it swimming it a stream...........i'd say beefheat might work or if you wanna be mean put a gold fish in there.............

Or your leg... that's how I fed them....

Not my choice, that's just where they ended up when I got out of the stream

Here is a website that describes keeping them in an aquarium and what to feed them if you choose to do so.
