       Feeding Invertebrates to big New World Cichlids?

       Does anyone routinely feed crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches,
       earthworms / night crawlers etc... to their big Central and
       South American Cichlids? I am always a bit wary of feeding any
       creepy crawlies in fear that they may have picked up traces of
       pesticides from somewhere. It would probably take quite an
       accumulation to actually harm the fish but is it worth the risk.
       Does anyone raise their own invertebrates as feeders for their
       fish?

       In my home there are many cockroaches and I don't let anyone put
       insecticide to kill cockroach since I always search for them and
       feed them to my fishes :D But in my experience in comparison
       fishes who feed on these little animals tend to be more
       agressive
       And I am currently raising earthworm to feed fishes , it's super
       easy And I love the sight when my babies fight over single worm
       when I put a whole earthworm in my tank ;D
