Feeding earthworms

[Loaches]

Anyone have any experience feeding, compost worms to their cichlids?

I have done this with no issue for years.

Welcome aboard
If compost is free of substance like fertilizer or any harmful chemicals. Just rinse the worm off and offer the cichlid.

All fish seem to love these from my experience. From tetras and rainbow fish, right up to Oscar’s, jags etc and even my Mangrove Jack doesn’t mind knocking over a couple of dozen compost worms.
Nice free, readily available food source to mix into their diet if you already have a worm farm.

It is, thank you.

It is very good feeding for all fishes, especially for those caught from the wild.

Given your name - Loaches - I look forward to seeing pictures of your fish in future posts.

Just don't do what I've done on several occasions. That is collect a jug full of wrigglers and leave it unattended on a kitchen work surface for any length of time!!
