    Default Easy insect gathering for fish food

    I put a bug zapper on a plate in the house, and occasionally dump the plate in the aquarium.

    The fish love the bugs

    One could put a bug zapper outside on a plate to collect bugs for feed also

    Very interesting. If I try it I'll try it on my rams and Rainbows before I give it to my Discus. Have you done this?

    Absolutely. I started doing it for the hatchet fish. The bugs float for a while kind of like the freeze dried blackworms

    The thing about those zappers is that they attract bugs so they're better when placed farther from the house. If I'm gonna use the dead bugs for fish food, I want it close to the house so it's handy. I'm still thinking about trying it, though. I have lots of skeeters during the warm months outside the fishroom.

    I put mine in the house.

    Gets flies, skeeters, flying ants, and other bugs that get in the house
