Worms And Cories

[Chrs]

Can you feed cories worms from your backyard? Since people use them as bait can't you feed it to pet fish. Would all worms be safe to feed?

Hi Chrs

Yes, and as part of a balanced diet, they are said to be very good for them. Be sure to get them from soil that is uncontaminated by fertilizers or insecticides, and wash them off well. Since they would have to be chopped up for the corys to eat them, you could freeze them first, to make them less messy.

Could you do this with Malawi Cichlids aswell?

I'd love to feed them as I have mostly biggish fish but wouldn't fancy cutting them up!!!

Hi youngfisher

I never kept any cichlids myself. It would be best to ask about this in the African Cichlids part of the forum.

I wouldn't, since Malawi for the most part eat vegetable-type matter. Perhaps maybe once in a while.
