If so I have enough live food for a year

judging from your location..I'm assuming those are fire-ants.I wouldn't feed thenm to a fish, because they may bite it. You can try if you like, but don't come crying to me if your fish has a huge red lump on the inside of his mouth.
My friend does that. When a big fly or an ant is in his house, he puts them in the tank and the fish he says go crazy.
Tell us your fishes' reaction to an ant. Do they try em and spit em out?
I'd think the formic acid might make some ants unpalatable.
Flies? That's a different story!

I am sorry to say that there were no takers...yet. But they had already been fed today, I am going to put a few ina jar or something and try again in tonight or maybe in the morning.
sorry, im steppin bk in time on this thread, but yes fish will eat ants. like you say, they may not go for them at first...because they are, so to speak, a 'foreign food'. squash acouple before you put them in, and that should get those sences goin...
and if anyone dares mentions the fact that surely i think the ants feel pain.....lol
