What unique food have you fed your Flowerhorn?

I have a new 5" FH. What have you fed your guys that is a lil' off the wall...crickets, worms, moths....?

A big nasty Centipede. He gobbles it up like crazy, pretty nasty. And fish flys.

Did wax worms last night. Got scared they were going to choke, took them a while to get it down. 1" wax worms while my FH is 3½".

Yes, we get tons of them once a year and he loves them, so does my parrot Charlie.

Not familiar with Fish Flies...sounds like "french fries"

the dog food is great.....Wonder if he'll eat my leftover meatloaf?

Actually dog food isn't great at all, unless you're feeding it to a dog.

Fish aren't capable of digesting much of what's used in dog food, and the fat content alone could create gastrointestinal issues in a fish.
