I don’t see a problem, as the others have said as long as they’re small enough.

I’ve actually seen boxes of fruit flies in my local fish shop. They’re only 2 euro a box, it’s huge box.

i think that is a bad idea..
better avoid em from chocking…. or unknown bacteria infection..

You can try putting a bit of the food in the tank. If they like it then i guess you can continue. I have never tried this.

I have two black mollies. And they are pretty happy eating worms / cucumbers / flakes and such stuff…

as long as they were the small variety, i don’t see why not! just make sure they’re not more than a mouthfull, don’t want the fish choking on them. and only feed as a treat, supplement with tropical fish food and other live/frozen food such as bloodworm and brine shrimp, and even the occasional veges.
