Got an odd question. I have been trying to feed my Jardini more vitamins (Krill soaked) and Hikari sticks. She doesn't go for the sticks at all and barely goes for the freeze dried, vitamin soaked Krill.
Anyways, today I experimented and went out and bought some crickets and she F'n loves them. I was wondering if feeding the Hikari sticks to my crickets before plunging them into the Aro's tank would help transfer some of the staple nutrients or would the crickets digestive system steal it all.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks MFK's.
 
yeah that should work... or a high quality flake food. i do the same for my superworms.
 
You could do that but with my jar I just kept giving food sticks and he eventually starts eating it on a regular basis now I get market shrimp and stuuf it with the food sticks
 
Waste of food. Just starve your jar to get it on pellets and krill. Theres also no reason to be soaking your food in vitamins if you feed a varied diet. Only time you actually need to feed crickets is for aros that refuse everything else. Even by gutloading crickets, you still only get a fraction of the nutrients from the sticks, so you might as well just feed the sticks.
 
i have tried to starve and it started tryign to kill others.
if you starve, it may work. for me
i just fed raw shelled shrimp stuffed with massivore pellets and or hikari sticks. so they get full spectrum of nutrients.

but, if crickets are dirty cheap where youa refrom - here its expensive, so ibreed my own locusts.
crickets are one of THE BEST live insects to feed. WHY?
because crickets will eat absolutely anything.
feed your crix you wanan feed hikari sticks 24 hours before, and feed it. gutloaded for maximum nutrtition
in nature, animals eat insects and take in the vits in that insect.
thsi si what you should be emulating.
even feeding locust wtih grass in its stomach, that helps with vitamin and calcium content.
Grass has so much calcium and vitamin C!!
naturally broken down by the locusts gut.

crickets are the same.
feed it what ever you wnt in the arowana. even the krill , crix will eat it!
 
crickets are not accustomed to eating high nutrient pellets usually.
the food they eat is still in their stomach, and residual traces in their body. it will benefit the fish extremely to do it.
