Has anyone here gotten any wingless fruit flies to feed them and their larvae to their fish?

No, but I know they will eat them.

I haven't fed them to my own fish, but when I worked for Petsmart, we did feed some of the livebearers a container of wingless fruit flies which we could no longer sell. (it had over 50% die off... so we just fed the mollies/platies/guppies the remaining live ones) They happily gulped them down, and I imagine they got a nice dose of protein out of it. :)

I was considering buying a culture to try. I think my sidthimunkis would really love them. I watched one grab a small bug that fell into the tank the other night, and it was hilarious. He couldn't swallow it, but he was not letting go, no way, no how!!!

I haven't had them for fish, but I have raised them for a gene research lab. They're super easy to maintain, and I imagine fish would go crazy for them.
