What Live Foods can I keep in 85 degree weather?

[emilio50]

I live in Puerto Rico and we have 80 to 85 degree weather throughout the year. Are there any live foods I can raise and keep in this temperature?

One good thing is that I do not use water heaters in my fish tanks.

Mosquito larvae, but you know the DRNA and Sanidad Ambiental will think about that. A brine shrimp and phyto culture is nice, but that's expensive and will yield to little product. Vinegar eels etc, yuck!:angel: You can even get some bloodworms growing in ponds and other water vessels rich in nutrients, not good! The only thing I might consider is an earthworm farm. BUT beefheart is so cheap, so why bother:)
No need to worry with live food, just good food!;)

emilio,

I would highly recommend Red wiggler worms, They are by far more nutritious than many prepared foods and the fish love them... My juvies eat them faster than I can cut em up. Talk about Buddha bellies:D I would contend that they are by far a better choice than BH (which I offer and they mostly ignore) And you have a never ending source.

All The Best

I have been thinking about red wigglers. Maybe I will give them a try.

Thanks.
