Hey, as some places are illegal to capture/sell bullfrogs in Canada, what kind of frogs do you feed your arowana for the best outcome?

I have imported frogs from Indonesia before, but generally too expensive I think. It works out to about $1.50 per frog.
Here are a couple videos of some of the frogs I imported being fed to an aro in Vancouver:
I know a wildlife biologist who has told me it would be easy to harvest bullfrog tadpoles/frogs in very large numbers in the spring around the lower mainland in BC.
American bullfrogs are an invasive species so there should be no problem in doing this.
The main challenge is that there is usually only a two-three week window of opportunity to harvest the bullfrogs before they leave the water sources.

yea no i don't want crickets and i dont think locust is available. yea i heard frogs were really good food for like once or twice a week to help coloration of the arowana and growth
Bro,
Frog is only good for growth not color development. N regular feeding too and not twice a week.

nah not regular feeding, too much protein. I'm referring to bullfrogs btw, and they are good for growth + colour development of the fish.
Mind sharing how feeding bullfrogs help in the color development ?

came across some random thread in arofanatics, some dude was talking about how bullfrogs helped the super red arowana with colour + bulk
LOL !
Nutrient transfer issues again.
If one can feed the nutrients directly to the Aro, why is there a need to have this nutrient transfer ?
For body mass, feed frog
For color development especially Red, feed shrimps.
If keen in trying off the shelves minerals and vitamins, use a syringe and inject a portion of the solution into the shrimps or feeds before feeding.
Worms are not really a good source of food unless you are referring to caterpillars.
