Superworm beetles okay for feeding?

[Retuks]

superworms are those mealworm variants that grow much bigger and their beetle forms have a red carapace that grows about one inch long. are the beetles okay for feeding to insectivorous fish? or are they useless (except for breeding) after metamorphosis?

 

[Retuks]

nobody knows if their poisonous/ indigestible or whatnot??

I feed super worms but never there beetle form (they never last that long). I don't see why not.

I feed superworms...usually gone before they turn into beetles.

Give it a try: I seem to remember stomping one that I saw on the floor and feeding it to the fish. They're not poisonous. Just pinchy. I'd kill the beetle first.

It's fine to feed the beetles to your fish.

I feed them to my channas all the time.

They secrete some stuff that stain the skin, not sure if its harmful for fish though.

you mean can try, right?

i breed crickets already.

i am wondering because im thinking of breeding superworms. they only turn into beetles if you put them by themselves with no food or water. that is actually an advantage since u can choose when to pupate them and also how many you want to actually breed.

im just thinking that i could put the beetles to some other use after they fulfilled their original duties.

and i only keep fish that can handle a good crunch. superworms are pinchy too though, aren't they?
