Nightcrawlers at walmart is what i have used for the past 4 years no problems at all i just rinse off the excess dirt on the worm and feed the fish and yes i have used many a worm found in the backyard as well but i don't use any treatments on the lawn.

to make ure fish die.also if you have seen biorbs previous thread then dont do it like he does, cut them up unless the are at an edible size.

I use them too. I get the "Red Worms/Trout & Panfish worms" tho which are 1/2 the size of a nightcrawler. Once my fish hit about 4" they could eat a whole one with no problem. Cut them up at first anyway tho to get them usd to the taste/smell. Then they'll beg for em. Had my JD eating them right from my fingers at the top of the tank.
They'll bulk up fast too if you feed them one or two a day plus the usual pellets or whatever mixed in.
Good luck!

Ive fed various fish, and 2 stingrays for a while when the main staple in the diet was crawlers and worms bought from the closest bordega.
I am looking into feeding my fish earth worms, but I am concerned about cleansing them. Putting them in a container of oatmeal overnight will do the trick? Or putting them in a container with a moist bottom? Thanks.
