Yeah they're a great treat for predatory fish, but there high in fat so best to keep them as a treat and not a staple food source. My dat loved them, more so than pellets. Also if your breeding them for reptiles then that's all the better for your pocket.
Yea deffinetly I have tons of geckos so I started to breed them to save money on food... I feed my cichlids normally the pellets and throw in the mealworms as a treat
I discovered mealworms by accident, I was looking after a friends baby bearded dragon and bought a ton of mealworms, one day I was a little short on pellets and thought why not, my dat went nuts for them, so I used then to get him pellet trained, worked a treat and the added mealworms in his diet made him grow pretty quick.
I just toss mine in live and there gone soon addy hit the waterI personally feed freeze dried mealworms to my African Butterfly fish, don't have to worry about the mealworms sinking.I also alternate with live crickets, and pellets.
