Feed roaches to fish

[Squeakfish]

Not gonna hurt them, right?
Don't know why, but fish stores and roach colonies seem to go hand-in-hand. So every time I catch a roach (and they are HUGE) it gets fed to the Oscar or the Red Devil or the Panther Grouper. The roaches aren't fed any poison, ever. Don't want to risk spreading it to the fish.
Roaches aren't gonna hurt them, right? Don't a lot of fish eat bugs anyway?

Oh,Heavens no... No more harmfull than feeding crickets,the larger size is probably more beneficial.

Roaches are one of the most nutritious feeders there are! Look up Dubia roaches

They always end up in my tanks (my apt complex has a problem :headshake2 and my goldies and bettas love them. The guppies just pull off the legs and leave the bodies floating. ew

And my guys are healthy as ever

I had an idea to create baited traps in a 5 gallon buckets, place near foul dumpsters overnight and then empty the roaches into a swimming pool pond full of pbass. But I dont have a yard anymore.

Don't know... some of the roaches around here could eat a fish or two themselves.

Put a little slide angled towards the openings of the tanks, and some bread crumbs glued to the bottom...

I feed dubia roaches to some of my large fish and they love them.
