Vinegar eels as food - useful or useless?

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about these: Vinegar eels/nematodes, Turbatrix aceti, that are supposedly dead easy to cultivate. Now, they are tiny, so obviously not much use for bigger puffers, but are they also too small for irrubesco (which I have) and pea puffers? And assuming the fish can/will eat them, is there any nourishment in them at all, once you are no longer a tiny fish fry?

It'd be nice if I could use these to activate my puffer a bit, and it'd be doubly nice if they were also a legitimate food source, but the lack of any mention makes me think maybe not. Anyone have any experience?


Cheers,
Kalaila

Sooo, no one with any experience, it seems. I guess I'll just give it a try.

HI there
Sorry I don't know much about vinegar eels but give it a shot - I would if I had access to any!
