Feeding crickets to fish safe?

[joecoulson]

So, while my family and I try to eat whole foods instead of processed because of the multitude of benefits, I can't imagine there would be a difference for animals. While I do not feed the fish feeders and the like because of the risk of disease, is there any risk of feeding my RD crickets? I imagine he would love them because he destroys fly's when I manage to nip one with the swatter its still kicking somewhat. Anyone's experience?

Store bought Crickets are full of cardboard. If you do it, raise the buggers for a week or two and feed them good veggies, then feed to your wet-pets.
Enjoy : )

There is hardly any risk in feeding store bought crickets in my experience and my arowana loves them.

+1, Feeding them for a bit will add to their nutritional value
