Chicken treats, for fish food??

Thoughts on this… we were at the farm store buying feed for our other animals, when I spied this… this whole bag about the price of a small bug bites food… thoughts???

Interesting, I don't see why you couldn't feed it to your fish.

I haven’t opened the package yet, but suspect I could easily crumble them… I think they are possibly crispy

Yeah sound Good, just in case I would wait for More opinions

I would use them as variety… I would still use my regular prepared food’s daily

Yeah but the food might be harmful in some way I'm not noticing.

I put mine though a coffee grinder (not the one I use for coffee!) as they don't crumble. As food, they work, but the fly's fame for calcium is real. It leaves calcium deposits if it hits the bottom uneaten.

Maybe a coffee bean grinder is in order

Opened the bag…. Fresh ones are crunchy… but I would guess that they get mealy after exposed to the air… I just cut one in thirds… the pieces floated at 1st and then slowly sank… they got ate, but cautiously, since it was new to them… I put the pieces in my barb tank… I assumed the tin foils would eat them, but the Denison barbs beat them to the pieces

Sorry about the “mealy” pun these are black soldier fly larvae

Oops. I forgot you had larger fish. My 39 year old red eared slider turtle eats them whole.
