Hi guys. Pretty new here and doing my homework before I get my discus.
I’m wondering if anyone is familiar with black soldier flies and their larvae (BSF/BSFL). Hermetia illucens is the scientific name. We use them in all sizes from tiny maggots to adult flies to feed chameleon’s, dart frogs, tree frogs, birds...basically everything.
I’d never heard of them years ago when I was more heavily keeping and breeding fresh and saltwater fish so idk if they’re well known in aquarium circles but they’re considered a superfood for other animals. Pretty cheap and easy to store in large numbers. I already buy 2000 larvae a month for my chameleons, giving some to the discus seems a no brainer.
