One of the questions asked on Carnivorous forums and groups is can you feed your plants fish food. The short answer is yes, Fish flakes or crushed pellets carry a number of nutrients that can be absorbed by Carnivorous Plants. Using fish food such as Goldfish Flakes or Floating Pellets is a good substitute when you don’t have better means at your disposal and require to get your plants some tasty food.
Bloodworms are a better source of nutrients and also offer the benefit of giving the plant an immunity boost. As bloodworms contain a polymer called chitin which is housed in their exoskeleton, this polymer will trigger the plants defenses without introducing fungi into the plant helping the plant build up an immunity system. This is extremely helpful for certain carnivorous plants such as butterworts.
If you were to pick between the two then bloodworms win hands down over feeding your plants fish food. Both are normally available at local and regional pet stores or online. However Carnivorous plant growers also have a third option and that is using a Carnivorous based plant food.
