Hi Everyone,
I've got a young Oscar that I primarily feed Hikari Gold, New Life Spectrum pellets and freeze dried Red Shrimp. He's putting on great size and I was considering getting some live foods into his diet.
I would never use feeder fish because of the potential disease issues, but I've been considering crickets.
Has anyone ever fed their fish crickets, is it safe, healthy? Any known risks? Do crickets carry any parasites or diseases? From what I can find through research, insects like this would compose a portion of a young Oscar's diet.
Would it be safe to use crickets purchased from Petsmart?
Thanks for your help!
