No, nothing wrong with that at all Both fish will feed on insects occasionally and it's fine for you to feed them flies. The only thing that would worry me is how you caught the flies. If they had been sprayed with bug spray and died, then you could have fed your fish some poison.

But if you simply caught them some other way without any kind of poison, then your fish are probably as happy as fish can be for the special treat they got. :)Seriously, there's nothing wrong with feeding your fish insects. I hope that helps!

The flies are fine because tinfoil barbs are omnivorous and black widows normally eat flies Since they are omnivorous, the Tinfoil Barb, Schwanefeld's Barb, or Goldfoil Barb will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food everyday. Even though they like proteins, they need lots of vegetable foods.

Vegetable substitutes suggested for these fish in the aquarium are cooked lettuce, spinach, or oatmeal. Reference animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/cyprinids... found people in fish forums who regularly feed their tinfoil barbsbrine shrimp, blood worms, and vegitation once daily. Said barbs will eat anything that falls into their tank.

Warned to be cautious because they will eat themselves to death, no self control. Black widows have a normal diet of flies, moths, crickets and small animals. Sources: www.fishforums.com and www.enchantedlearning.com .

I wouldn't about it sadly fish will eat anything. Sadly fish will eat almost anything. I wouldn't worry about it.

Your Barbs and Teras will be okay. I have have feed mine earthworms chopped up of course. It got my Angelfish into breeding condition fairly quick.

Beside flies would be something they would eat in the wild. If you want your fish to be healthy be sure to vary their diet a bit. Don't just feed them flake food, you could add some frozen fish food to their once or twice week.

They love things like blood worm, daphnia or mosquito larva. Sources: My Opinion .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
