Earthworms and Peacock Bass

[FishDojo God]

Any pros or cons about earthworms for Pbass?

dont see why not, aslong as where you getting them from is pesticide free etc..

I've done it before as a treat. It' hard to make sure everyone gets some.

Despite the huge protein content.. All my experience with Worms is Fuller stomachs... and Slower growth

I have experimented this on two occasions and noticed double growth in feeding Live fish compared to growth in feeding worms.

There are always exceptions.. But this is just my experience

i agree ^^^ plus i never had a cichla that really loved them, but thats me... they fowl up your water when they put them down in their crushers so i stay away.. just my 2 cents

I used to feed my Jardini Arowana nightcrawlers all the time, but he sadley died about 2 months ago, so i moved to peacocks, so far all the he will eat is feeders.
