I don't think artificial worms are going to be very effective on tilapias, but I've not tried it before myself. I usually stick to the good old earthworms, never failed me yet. :D Crickets can certain types of cichlids, notably the peacock bass depending on how you present them. Many predatory species of fishes feed largely on insects during their juvenile to adolescence stage.
