tadpoles for food?

[bobgobucks]

My gf keeps some goldfish in a water trough outside that has recently been the scene of a toad orgy. Mucho tadpoles. How would these be as food for my Africans? I have Malawi haps, a front and a few mbuna.

dunno but i used to feed my koi tadpoles with no probs

Nope...Mbunas are veggys not Carnivorous.

 

[bobgobucks]

Well, mine are labs which will enjoy the occasional meat entree....

Absolutley NOT! Your first concern should be about disease.

Just feed them NLS.

 

[bobgobucks]

This was my main reason for asking

 

[glenbo]

Labs enjoy insects and the like...not 'meat'

You should be fine.

All fish are opportunists by nature. You think if a tadpole swam by a mbuna in the wild it would say "Nah, i'm a vegetarian."?

Don't make it a huge part of their diet, but as a treat every so often, go ahead.
