I want to Breed a feeder for bigger fish

[TwoHedWlf]

Mealworms are also super easy to breed. Bucket full of oats, dump a starter culture in, put the buckets somewhere warm and out of the way,occasionally throw some pieces of potato in for some moisture.

I used to breed them for my cichlids, my boss kind of frowned on that after a container of fish food fell on the bucket, knocked the mesh lid into the container and she went to the toilet one night and had a couple big black beetles crawl across her bare feet.

So...Protip, avoid that.

Forgive me if this is a really stupid question, do you feed the adult beatles to the fish too? Or just the worms?

Red wiggler worms are super easy to culture, safe, nutritious and fish love them. I have a bin of them in my garage fishroom into which we dump kitchen scraps of veggies, fruit and paper. Check out www.unclejimswormfarm.com or Craigslist for red wigglers (AKA composting worms)

Just the worms. You leave the nymphs and beetles alone to breed.
