Re: apisto with intestinal worms

[mickey3@intergate.ca]

Frozen ones are OK!!!...I've never had an infestation of anything from
frozen anything, nor have any of the other people in my area I've talked
to..as I understand it frozen food is raised under controlled situations,
I'm sure a purveyor of frozen food wouldn't be in business for long if they
were known to carry nasties in their frozen food...especially with the way
the word can spread today, thanks to the net...live worms or any other food
taken from a lake or pond could be disasterous in my opinion.
