Can you feed DP's night crawlers or meal worms wax worms and stuff like that?

I personally wouldn't recommend them as they are awful big foods for little bitty critters. But if you must, nightcrawlers are okay as long as you are sure they come from clean soil, nothing with any pesticides or other nasties in them. I would avoid mealworms, waxworms, etc., as they are very high in fat and have been known to cause gastrointestinal problems in fish. I wouldn't use any of the above as a regular staple though.
