    Hi John you know what life’s like, sometimes the koi have to take a back seat and not get as much attention as I used to. But I’m back on the ball again now.��

    thought i'd zombie this thread rather than start a new one...

    just got some mealworm to try my fish on.
    pretty cheap compared to the price i'd seen at koi shops.

    poundstretcher do a really big bag/sack about 2 kilo iirc for £9.99
    i just got a small bucket to try them on first see how they like it...400g for £3.

    I go through a lot of mealworms and allways shopping about as the koi love them.
    At the moment the grow ons are loving them from Home bargains.

    I thought Poundstretcher had finished trading.

    They say there is a lot of goodness in them which is hard to see as they are hollow,but they love them at all times which is good enough for me,I crush a handful so the smaller koi can get some.

    I pay around £10 for 2kg and quality seems to be no different to more expensive ones.

    Bit more if you want them delivered. Here's some I recently bought, £11.89 for 2 kg, equating to 59p per 100 grams delivered:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MALTBYS-S...D/153705291478

    If you keep them in your watch list they do them on offer at 2kg for 9.99 delivered every now and again.

    I found them for £7.50 a kilo at a independent pet shop in felixstowe yesterday called conkers. Although this 12.5k bag was £75 I think or maybe £79.99 if anyone wants to stock up!

    Forget the dried ones, get a pot of live mealworms, your koi will love you forever. Mine go absolutely mental.

    Bought a tub of Mealworm today. Some of the fish took to them straight away and can't seem to get enough. Others are somewhat suspicious of them

    I tried live mealworms on a mixed pond with koi, red eared turtles, and goldfish but found several undigested mealworms (mealworms with a slime coating) the next day. Is this a problem? The turtles are more keen than the fish. Should I stop, slow down?

    I've bought these, interested in the live meal worm nursey though
