    Now you have it working Al. When we have to order/buy them to be able to produce the video to try to win them then you have us hooked.

    Love the video of the fry; they look so healthy and happy. Great job!

    Sorry for the video quality - combo of crappy camera and my equally crappy camera skills





    Here's the "training" video. My heckels are crazy, what can I say?




    Thanks for posting this challenge, Al. Hope to see many more videos.

    Hi Al;

    I just got this camera with video capability. Thought I try to upload a video of some of my fish eating FD Blackworm that I got from you for this challenge. The Albinos are shy but they grew out really well. The Blue diamonds are the aggressive feeders. mike

    Thanks Embersmom! I have had them since they were quite young, but they grew out nicely with my homemade seafood/BH mix and now Al's Blackworm cubes. They may eat slowly and gently, but these guys often shock me by how much BW they can eat. They just keep eating and eating and eating... mike

    ok I know mine is only 30 seconds but my sister was filming and she cut it short... but yeah these things are so good I use them as bait... basically the fish play right into my hands (no pun intended)

    and sorry about the quality, i did it using my phone

    *btw I know you said they have to jump out in order to win 100 free grams but my guy was definitely more than an inch above water level

    those are 15 day old fry - 2 different spawns (ARSG & PB's) - they spawned within 24 hrs of each other and I had the PB pair foster the ARSG fry. The red fish is the male PB parent (looking pretty beat up and peppered - BTW, any ideas if that is a Marlboro?????). For the song - please mentally substitute "peanut butter pie" for "Al's FDBW".

    Well, I know I took longer than Promised here in deciding, but I have to say I really like the clip Steffi submitted. So Steffi is the winner this time around. Steffi, drop me a Pm with info as to where to send your Freeze dried Blackworms and if you prefer loose or cubed. Congratulations!!

    and to everyone else that submitted clips...thanks for participating.. watch for future contests and hone up on the video/choreography skills.

    Regards all,
