ants

[gazella]

well i have a question and i know its sounds stupid but.. heres the story
i've try to make a hatchery for mosquito larves for feeding time and i can make it work, so i have thiis ant colony living in my backyard and i hate it.
so i was thinking ...¿could if be benefical for my cichlids..?
i was thinking on it because i know that insects like ants are good protein source and its live food and its fresh food and have plenty..

i know its stupid but i would really apreciate feed back..

Mine eat the large black crickets that make their way into my garage... well now since my turtles at school... they are learning sooooo much....

but I would only worry that they would eat then whole and the ants would hurt them since they can hold their breath for 20 minutes...thanks orchan man....

or bring in something harmful from your yard fertilizer or something...

i wouldn't have to worry about ferltilizers cause i don't have grass or any other plant to take care of cause i live in a desert..
so if i soak'em would it be fine..?
thnx for the reply.

would the poison or watever be an issue..?

I fear that they would bite the fronts since they are so small... poison could be a problem
