What we call wolf spiders up here never get more than 2 inches.

The one I was chasing was large enough that I didn't go after it barefoot.

Yup those are the same spider I like to catch.
When being handled they just scramble, & usually just jump off you.
I caught a few that were easily the size of my hand TL.
You have to be quick or they're gone in a flash.

I know i've seen people say they feed they're cichlids earthworms, But besides that what other bugs do you feed your cichlids? I know when summer comes i'm going to have tons of June Bugs, (what i've always called them) Just wondering if these could be fed to the cichlids? Or what else do you find in your yard that you feed your cichlids?

Any bugs they can catch from inside their tank.

I live about a 1/4 mile from a swamp and the basement has a couple of Moist areas that we tend to find Water Bugs in. They end up in the tank.
