Re: Black face



Yvan,
I asked the same question many years ago and was told, NO,  different
worms.. to me the black worms look like BIG tubifex?? But then, what do I
know??
 Anyway, I stopped feeding tubifex and now only feed blackworms once a week,
..to selective fish only ..because when I was feeding tubifex, heavily, I
lost a lot of apistos to, what looked like "bloat"... I found  Nijesseni
especially prone to this... I never fed them any black or tubifex worms
again!.
