Hmmm....I've never tried meal worms on my BGK....

They LOVE ghost shrimp. I found this out the hard way. :rolleyes: I acutally bought them for my ray and put them in my BGK's tank for keeping until it was luch time for the ray. It didn't occur to me for some reason that my BGK would devour them. Well, he did. Cleaned up about 10 of 'em in a few hours!! Needless to say he was quite happy!! ;) He had to be pretty full, too, as he's only about 6" long.
I also put in shrimp pellets for him and my cories. Then he feasts on left over flakes and I also feed all the fish in the tank blood worms either frozen or freeze dried. I tried giving him a peice of dried krill once, but he wanted nothing to do with it.
I'm gonna try a little nite crawler one of these days, I'd imagine he'd love that!....

You can try Frozen brine shrimp also, they love that too!

They love bloodworms and will eat anything that is smells good like pellets and flakes

[ewok]

mine has been mostly on a diet of bloodworms, dried and frozen. i am assuming it ate the ghost shrimp in the tank, and has probably also eaten shrimp pellets and possibly algae tabs.....

My BGk loves.......slow sinking granules, beefheart, bloodworms, brine shrimp, zuccini {did I spell that right?}, a good varied diet.

They do get a over foot long..so have a LARGE tank.. I would say 55 gallons and larger...
