I have not been getting any bugs in my house. I am hoping to feed my cp's ( see grow list) with some betta fish food. I have had these guys for a while with no bugs. Is this okay?

With all of those fillers like Wheat, Corn, Soybean and yeast, I wouldn't feed that to my plants or a fish. That ingredients list is way to long and scary IMO.

Okay then I personally fed it too my fish which lived for over 3 years :p

I use betta pellets on my sundews. It does the job but you need to crush them up for smaller plants. I have not tried it with other types of CPs.

Betas are carnivorous(mostly anyways). I'm just pointing out that that it's a low quality food. Maybe it doesn't matter if your fish lived for 3 years. I'm not sure if the corn, wheat and other fillers would harm your plants but maybe a higher quality Beta pellet could be better utilized by your plants. Some of the ingredients I can make out are Copper sulfate, used as a anti-fungal and a root killer. Also Sodium(I can't see the second word) but it's a salt of some form.

I used the flaky kind for my nepenthes and they work fine. I dunno how well those pellets would work though, since it has a lot of plant fillers

You can use blood worms. In romanian (translated bad from Hungary), red larvae.
