I was wondering is it ok to feed the odd cricket I find jumping around the house to my fish? I fed one to my jag this morning and then I thought wow, I dont know if its ok to do that or not. Can someone advise me, thanx!
 
Anything but spiders really should be fine....

As long as you don't have bug poison in and around you house, go ahead. I feed all the bugs I find to my fish.
 
Would small green grasshoppers found in vegetable gardens be ok for smaller (<4") fish? Im curious because I have a ton of them about .5" in size and they'd be a great food but they have pointy legs and I actually made myself bleed on a 1.5" specimen from the same tomato bush.

Sure, my cichlids love them. Moths are another favorite.
