Hi..
Hi all, It is now spring time and bug are starting to show there signs. I live in northern canada. Edmonton to be exact. and I am wondering what bug are good for my fish? Your region might be rich in what we call "meadow plankton". All you need were a self-made (bought?) net similar to an extra fine butterfly net and of course access to grassland or meadows. The yield are flies, plant lice, little beetles, moths, grubs, butterflies, spiders, ants, larval, grass-hoppers, other bugs. An overplus of meadow plankton might be stored in plastic bags in the food freezer. an also how to cultivate said bug so I can use them in the winter as well as not having to forage for them all the time? Water-fleas were another option having access to a garden, balcony, buckets or rain barrels. You might overwinter some water-fleas in buckets in a frost-free room for the next outdoor season. Indoors small flightless fruit-flies, grindal or water-fleas were an option, too. HTH. -- cu Marco |
