Will Fish Eat Slugs?

[Birdie]

Well will they??

The other week I collected all the aphids I could find in my (organic) garden, and fed them to my fishies - heh heh, revenge is sweet

Can I also feed them the small slugs that fell out the veggies I was washing yesterday ( or any other day, come to that) ?

well i have never tried it it a tank, however fish in lakes and ponds definitely eat slugs if their small enough, i know this because the local fisherman use them along with maggots

I can't really see that slugs *wouldn't* be OK - unless that disgusting slime is poisonous or something But on the other hand, fish eat snails just fine, and what is a slug except a homeless snail ?

(and yes, I do know that they aren't really lol)

When I go fishing I sometimes use slugs as bait and I catch fish on them.

Some slugs do produce that horrible yellow stuff that is incredibly sticky and I think I remember is supposed to taste bad to birds - I think it's the small brown ones that do that. So I'd at least stay away from those ones.
