I honestly have no idea... but I'll tell you that I wouldn't want to be the first to try. Also, if the leo was hunting from above, they may never catch the fish depending on what angle they look through at... the light bends when it hits the surface. I can hardly figure it out sometimes. Personally, I'd just stick with what's been proven. But someone here may know the nutritional value of them.. and may even know a way to get them to eat it. Interesting question though.

Most likely NOT, fish bones, fish raw
Leos come from pakistan, i highly doubt they would EVER encounter fish in their diet.

I know the feeder fish are apparently digusting cuz of the conditions they're in at the petstore.

If you want to treat them try waxworms, moderately, they're apparently addicting.
