Fish Food......
 

Anyone trying to feed VFT fish food?
I tried,I sprinkle some fish flakes in the trap and put an ant in it.
I kinda regret it, so is it safe........?

Yah. I only feed my VFT mosquitoes but they catch small beetles, flies and etc

Re: Fish Food......
 

VFT's need live food. The movement of the insect set the trap off and sealing process need for digestion.

Re: Fish Food......
 

Fish should not be used unless you are really desperate. This is because fish contains protein and other unwanted minerals. Unless you want your VFT to grow bonehard traps, hahahaha

Edward, I think he means fish food not fish.

Re: Fish Food......
 

Well, its more or less around the same. Fish food not nice for VFT. Oops, sorry.

Cheers

Khoas I said I put an ant into it to trigger the trap,understand?so it's kind of half alive half dead.AND I THINK the trap is LEAKING digetive juices.Maybe it's too full?

Re: Fish Food......
 

Is your trap bent outward and shiny looking?

Cheers

Re: Fish Food......
 

I have never seen VFT trap leaking digetive juices. Could it be that you applied some water on your fish food before placing into the trap? Or maybe the ant you put in is too juicy.

Re: Fish Food......
 

Sorry for the shiny stuff, I meant that is the lip of your VFT shiny? When
VFTs are digesting, they bend teeth outward and seal the lip of the trap with a mucus that can look kinda shiny and like liquid. Unless your VFT is leaking by the lobes? Perhaps the VFT is vomiting....:laugh:

Sorry, missed the bit about the ant.
The protein in the fish food might be causing the over production of the juices.

Re: Fish Food......
 

Maybe,there are MOLD Growing out of the trap,like the ones that grow on exoskeleton of insect.
White colored.Maybe it's fungus?

Re: Fish Food......
 

Why did you do that:veryangry:....You must only give it Living food like u know mosquitoes and things like that:laugh:.

Re: Fish Food......
 

Hi

To me again not advisable to give your VFT that.....That white thing well lets just say ur trap will go bye bye.....Its the same as a part of the insect is left outside and the whole trap dies but not the whole plant haha......

Well at least this experiment can't go too badly. All you can lose is one trap.
(This is also why you don't feed your VFT the dreaded hamburger meat)
