Can Angelfish eat....

[Corzz79]

Hi all,

I’ve been wanting to get some live food for my angels but the food I want to get for them I can’t find.
Does anyone know if they would like or eat Scuds?
I’m being picky and choosing cos I know buying live food can be risky.

thanks all

Probably not because of the size of their mouths

If angels can gobble up neon tetras, no doubt they will take to scuds.

They’re only like .4 to 1cm long

Yeah they have eaten swordtail fry before and love them. I just didn’t know if they could.

They should be able to take scuds. I used to feed mine mealworm pupas which are pretty large in size.

a friend is offering me like 20 of them to give my fish for food, but I’m worried they won’t eat them and then I have all these scuds in my tank. Lol

Are they live? I think that would be kinda cool. Scuds are a large food source for trout in lakes.

They should eat scuds. If they don’t, scuds are great cleaners, look cool, and won’t breed out of control. I honestly want them in my tanks. I introduce them to whatever tanks they won’t get eaten in. They’re also really good at eating algae cells before they can take over.

My angels devoured ghost shrimp so the will probably eat scuds. Angels have a very, VERY large appetite and will probably try anything.
