Let me list the stock first (keep in mind they are all young):
Arowana
2 oscars
ID shark
Endlichiri
3 clown loaches
High fin pleco
2 clown knife
1 parrot

All these fish are pellet trained except for 1 knife. It's in the process of being train of anyone read my other threads. I am someone who is against live feeders. I don't like it as it is extremely mess and a lot of other reasons.

The live foods I generally feed are insects. Crickets and mealworms occasionally. Since I'm running out of meal worms I am gonna go to the store later this week. I feed live once a week to keep them from getting bored of pellets. But I want to change it up. Crickets are expensive and don't last long. Mealworms are easy to care of but I feel my fish are getting bored of them as well. So I want to get another easy care live food. The choices I am contemplating on is red wigglers or earth worms... If anyone can offer me another choice which is easy of keeping please tell me. Thank you :)
