I wouldn't do it. They don't get big at all. They are also african if I'm not mistaken.

I have a jewel in with Jacks... but he has PLENTY of hiding spots. The jacks are between 4" and 6" and the jewel is only about 2" lol. He is a quick little bugger....but most of my tanks have fish most people wouldn't stick together.

Nice! They'll like the meal worms even better after they metamorphose into meal worm beetles. =)

How do you turn them to beetles

just feed them ground up oats or cricket food and do refrigerate them, they will turn into beetles in a week or more. You can also get some red worms from the pet store, they keep them in the fridge along with the meal worms. My fish love red worms... I tried super worms but they didn't know what to make of them and left them alone. Crickets work to!

Do I leave the meal worms in the fridge for them to turn into beetles
