Answer 1

they can eat crickets. HOWEVER, i would only buy them from a pet store. catching them outside, they can be diseased and/or exposed to pesticides(even if u dont use pesticides u dont know where they came from).

buying them from a store will eliminate those possiblities because they are bred in controled facilities. they should be safe to feed to ur fish.
