Hi Folks

Summers coming here in the GB

I am not really a person for giving my fish live food (I think it is a shame to feed a living creature as food what I have caught - its not really that natural - especially when there is an abundance/variety of high quality dried foods on the market)

To me, I cannot chop up a live earthworm - what about you?

However, the occasional moth that has arrived in our kithen has foung its way to the fish tank for a quick death!!

If I ever are able to bring myself to do it - what garden creatures can a community tank eat?

Green/blackfly, woodlouse, beetles, ants, moths ....???

What are your feelings??

Best regards

Dave

Now that black fly season has started, mine will be getting as many as I can catch.

I would be extremly careful and be concerned that none of these garden foods have come in contact with any insecticides.
Many FP members grow their own live foods and that is a totally different safe method.
