Mealworms for fish? for Copperband?

[Hal]

Has anyone fed their fish mealworms, either live or freeze dried? I'm especially interested in them for my Copperband butterfly.

I don't have a source of live food within 100 miles, and thought that live mealworms from a bird-supply store might do the trick. Especially since copperbands seem to like worms. I just wonder if the mealworms are too big?

68 dead fish and counting? I hope you are joking.

Yes.

If it makes you feel any better, I've had my copperband for over a year. I'm not bragging, but it seems like many people think that's difficult to do. (Now watch, it'll be dead when I get home tonight.)

Anyway, if you are going to feed the mealworms I would pinch the heads off first. I know in reptiles they can sometimes burrow through the stomach.

bump for anyone that's actually tried it. . .
