Mike,
Some of them died and smelled real good.Cory cats are a good way to get the 
uneaten worms out of the substrate, but you don't want Cory cats in your 
Apistogramma breeding tanks.I stopped feeding Blackworms three years ago 
because of my allergies.
Enjoy your spring break.I have a long 4 Day weekend coming up:).

Max......are you sure they die???  Mine always have their heads poked out of
the gravel and live until the fishes eat them!!!  How about the rest of you
guys??

By the way folks.....I'm on spring break and it's "loverly" here in
Florida.....it's now almost 11.00AM and it's 75 degrees.........that was a
poke at John up in the mountains.......;-)
