I read that a good way to feed worms is by first putting them in a 
vitamin solution.
Another idea would be to put them in an essential fatty acid, such as 
emulsified
cod liver oil. Of course, I'm basing some of this on human supplements, 
but
I did buy an EFA for fish, and have been soaking my sinking pellets in 
that and
a vitamin solution. The fish seem to love it.

Susan, I'll call you do discuss pickup. Probably this weekend or next 
week. Any
chance you'd like to bring them and come see my clinic and fish tanks?
John
