Curtis............absolutely you can use earth worms. You will find you probably ought to "cull" the bigger worms and feed the baby worm to the apistos but sure!!!!! There are some "Red Dwarf Wiggelers" earthworms that help with smaller baby worms......would like to get some of these myself!!

Hello again, I am still awaiting some insight on this matter. Please advise. RGDS & TIA Curtis M. = = = Original message = = = Hi there, I was reading an old fish book of mine and it said that cichlids eat earthworms. I was wondering if some of you "resident experts" can confirm/deny this as I was thinking of using a cracked five gallon and some topsoil and a batch of fishing bait (dew worms) and see if I can breed them and feed them to my kribs. Any advice is appreciated. RGDS & TIA Curtis M. ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
