Can anyone recommend the size of these for African Butterfly fish? My butterfly fish accepts dried flake and freeze dried foods. Just not too big.

They're not big - average about 1/2 inch, some longer and if that's a little too big, they will break easily into smaller pieces in your fingers.

Yeah, I bought some of these at a fair one time and they had them in fish bowls. I do the same, with plants also, I just clean them regularly

I haven't tried the shrimp with them yet but from what I have read they should be ok. I tried guppies and it didn't work. The guppies died but I don't honestly know if it was the crayfish. Guppies do spend time at the bottom of the tank which is where the crayfish are. I am going to try tetras which seem to be the fish most people recommend with the dwarf crayfish.

I have not personally dried any fish but the instructions indicate fish can be dried but you should use the highest temperature setting.

I have it in my African Cichlid tank and it works great!! My fish are fresh water fish. I it is good to provide some sort of water movement for your fish.

That depends on what type of fish you'll be using. Straight up brine shrimp is something I used for mbuna and peacock cichlids as a protein treat. I mainly used them for fry though. I feed my adult africans the frozen cubes of spirulina and brine shrimp by hikari about once per week with a pelleted food as a staple.

Hi, Amy. Good luck with the dried meal worms. We can't keep enough in he feeder during the cold months into early spring. We have noticed a slow down, but they still disappear in a couple of days. If you are a little more adventerous, try LIVE meal worms. The birds go nuts for these. The drawback is that they have to be kept in the fridge but if you're OK with that...a tupperware container with strips of news paper and some holes in the lid works just great. Bluebirds are our biggest consumers but other birds frequently stop by for a snack. Best wishes and good luck!!! alan in MA

I think it would probably be a bit small for a trout, mostly this is good for rehydrating freeze dried meals and boiling water.

I bought these as a gift from my Father-in-law to one of his Great Grandsons. When I spoke to the Great Grandson, he said that most of the lures were for really big fish and he wished they had more lures for the medium sized fish. He didn't say how well they worked per say, but from the fact that he wished there were more smaller lures, I figured they worked. He did say he caught a fish with the smaller lures.

I don't actually have the glo fish...I have a betta, and for awhile there was also a snail. While the snail did frequently come up to the top of the bowl, neither of them ever made a move to actually jump out :)

Panko crumbs will work much better than flour. Just the tiniest sprinkle of oil will help, also, especially with really lean fish.

Throw in a cheap hotdog. Recently, I had an expired ham steak. I cut it into 5 pieces and used it. It works great. I've been catching a lot of bluegill "minnows".

Pretty big. I had trouble with fish burp with this item. I even kept them in the freezer and took with meals. Wish I could find a fish oil that didn't cause this problem.

The ones I got were very small, but the directions say that as soon as they're established they can be fed with flies. I haven't tried to feed them myself, as it says that they can survive without them. I would say that size-wise, they're about an inch high in a4 inch pot. They have a habit of lying down flat rather than standing up.

I ordered mine later in the season, but I would think someplace cool and dry would work. I hope you love them as much as I did...I was persistent enough to get pics, both at time of hatching and a couple months later. Simply amazing!

Dale, I don't know how big your fish is. I put some on my Cock, now I can see him crow in the morning when he wakes me up. Hope that helps Dale.

I don't know. I would say they would have to be the larger goldfish; A 3 inch goldfish may not be able to handle the size of the fish food I give my koi.
