Well Steev I totally agree...Varied diets just as in humans are the way to
go :) I do notice the lost in colors in some of my Endi's most"specialist"
attribute it to the lack of color in my old substrate...Since the "issues"
I've had recently with the possible anchors worms I have made my tanks
bare...As of yet I have not seen any evidence in my collections of parasites
what so ever took your advice orginally with the med. you recomended and I
have been clear(knock on wood) and I thank you for the advice earlier, wish
I coulda told you at the meeting but my mind was somewhere else...I will do
bare probably for the remainder of the summer...Fish seem to have there
hunger back and I'm trying to stay clear of any possiblity of anything...SO
staying away a cold water feeder in the summer months, is just another step
of taking action for me, I have quite a collection(wild caught) that is
valuable at this time, every precaution is  warrent for me, hence the
homemade frozen foods. Call me paranoid I dunno...:)
