blackworms? what are you crazy!!!

[BlueTurquoise]

yes I worm myself with a very common product called Combantrin. Their jingle is "one tablet once". I spent many summers on my cousin's farm in my youth and it is very common practice to deworm ourselves and our pets, esp the border collies who got bad cases of ring worm and hook worm. Such good dogs btw...

Black worms: The ultimate food that is relatively risk free would be compost earthworms IMO and from other people's testimonies. If I had the room I would do that tommorrow. Black worms for now are pretty good for the risk involved. This is so with any food. I have to be careful about the food that I eat everyday (like leftovers, white meat etc) so looking after my fish's food is logical.

I am not crusading for CBW, I am just aaying that I suppose miles is on the right track, it's about quality and keeping a close eye on your fish.

I spend at least 20 mins per day eyeing my fish very very closely or just plain watching them. I watch the tank more hours a week than I do my TV imo...

i.,,,,,,and many breeders have used blackworms successfully for a long time.
but this is a subject that can go back and forth for many moons....it just has to be personal preference and risk factor.

BLACK WORMS RULE" just my nickels worth

I have never had a problem with using them. I rinse them with chilled RO water and they stay healthy as long as they last.

I think in the wild they eat the little red berries that fall off the trees. I get them in a can called colorbits, they love them.
