RE: Aquatic Foods Blackworms

["Holly" <holly@ourglasshouse.com>]

Sandy, I have heard the same thing.  I've done a lot of reading about the
woes of blackworms.  California Blackworms are *supposed* to be disease
free.  Here are a couple of links about CBW's:

http://www.simplydiscus.com/forum/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=
957

I'm very sorry you lost your discus.  That would break my heart :(

I have thought about setting up a bucket of earth worms.  Can you describe
your setup or do you have a link to a similar setup?  I'm just curious as to
what would be the ideal home, food, and general care for the worms.

Dear Holly and Susan, the price of your free coupon may be the life of your
fish.  Live  black worms carry the same deseace and parasite conditions as
the blood worms and tubaflex worms.  Also Blackworms can be another name for
bloodworms.  Now if the coupons are for frozen black worms, great go for it!
As an alternative live food try white worms or small earth worms or live
brineshrimp for freshwater fish. I do have enough earthworms and food to set
up a earthworm bin for anyone who can bring me a container and peat moss.  I
have never had a fish die from earthworms.  You would be surprised at the
size of the fish that can eat the earth worms.  Two of the red and blue
tetras that I won from fish of the month were fighting over the same medium
size earthworm.  And they are barely an inch long.  One inch cichlids can
eat earthworms, granted the worm hangs out of thier mouth for an hour but
they won't give it up either.  I just had to pass along the facts I would
not want any! one else  to watch their fish die a slow wasting death due to
blood worm contamination as my large beautiful discus did.
 
Anyone interested in earthworms please give me call at 206 444 4943.
Thanks Sandy
