Tilapia as a food staple?

[dsmalex97]

I'm going to try and order some asap. Let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for the help!

I just got an email back from Yusuke, and apparently they have been using this food for 12+ years! Thought that was pretty interesting stuff. That makes me feel better that I'm not making my frog into an experiment, ordering tonight!

Yes but they aren't the normal everyday cockroach pests.

I see. Not the ones that crawl on your floor and are noisey?

Nope. Look at the feeder and culturing section of the forum. Should be some info on them. The main one is called Dubia Cockroaches.

uhhh, not that I really care, but I am curious....

When did I mention cockroaches, and how did the topic switch like that without it coming up on this thread lol.

Hijacker alert! lol, jp!

Lol! Forgot what you put in your thread? It was a long thread.

[dsmalex97]

Haha, yeah!

That was at the very start though, so I thought maybe Savanah posted on the wrong thread. But then I saw you too, and was like huuuuuuuuuuuuuuh? Haha, I'm slow sometimes...

Im not sure who started the thread originally, but I started a thread a few months about my success with feeding strictly frozen thawed talapia meat with worms and mice once or twice a month.

I now recommend against feeding talapia all together. They do not seem to digest the fish meat properly. I fed talapia for 6-7 months straight, my frogs loved it and wud eat their fill but I noticed them not digesting it properly and getting rather fat. Talapia works don't get me wrong but I would not recommend it, this is coming from someone that fed 14 african bull frogs for 6-7 months of their life mostly talapia

lol thanks. didn't mean to confuse you.
