is it safe to feed nightcrawlers?

I think he was saying that he puts the flake food in the soil with the worms, to make the worms more nutritious. I've considered doing that myself, but decided it would be more efficient to feed the flakes or pellets directly to the fish as their vitamin enriched staple, and just consider the worms as an occaisional (or daily) protein treat.

When I lived in Hawaii my fish loved to eat the house geckos.

You can also take an insulin syringe and inject liquid vitamins into the nightcrawlers. They will hold quite a bit.

My Acarichtys Heckelii choked to death on one. Some fish aren't designed for big food.

My Oscars love nightcrawlers, I just use the bait ones from walmart
