do wingless beetles work?

[Airsoftingyness]

my dad is raising wingless beetles for his cichlids and said i could use some for my 2 cresties and leo the beetles are like this big . . are they edible?

i dont see why not. but ou shoudl check the nutrient levels in them. if they are low, try to persuade your dad into raising flightless, non climbing roaches.. some good ones are dubia .. they have the best meat to exoskelly ratio, and high protein levels to promote growth. jus persude him and tell him how nutriious roaches are
