Crickets or Worms?

[Deku]

Why not use both as well as other food items?




There's alot of worms you can go with. Wax worms, meal worms, phoenix worms, earthworm, silkworms, etc.


You can also feed fishes, roaches, locust, fish food pellets, just to name a few other food items.

Fish can transmit parasites. Especially feeder fish.
Feeder fish:
Goldfish<---Terrible(they are high in fat and low on protein)
Minnows(not that bad a feeder)
Guppies(same as above)
Platies(same)

But all of these ussually contain parasites. Most of them die within the day. I used to work in a petstore and Id see 20feeders die a day. Even if kept in optimal conditions.

You can get a wrong batch of any type of feeders and they can make your pet sick. All living creatures have the potential to carry parasites/sickness just not fishes. If you're that worried you can just either breed your own or just quarantine for a few weeks.

Petstore you used to work at is probably one of those that I always refuse to support because they always have dead animals lol.
