Could you feed your fish triops

[davo]

could you feed your fish triops and would it have any nutritional value at all?

Never heard of it, what is it?

Arent they too small to use for food?

triops eat fish. Mine ate a 4 inch feeder once.

Never heard of it, what is it?

"TRIASSIC TRIOPS will grow up to 2" long and live for 20 - 90 days and then lay more eggs" apparently. probably a bit smaller though.

cool little buggers when they are little you feed them sea monkeys they are very predatory and I have seen 2 to 3 inch triops before in a pet store display

just wondered if stuff like puffers or anything else would eat them

 

[Honda12]

I'm sure a puffer would eat them.

I wonder if cichlids, catfish and bichirs and knifefish would eat them. Could be a handy supply of live food in this non-feeder country.

They look very hard and armoured though.
