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?

Do you think something purges the worms that the fish eat in the wild? I've always thought of it as a free source of minerals for the fish.

With other life food (daphina?) you can also gut load. This would be a useful way of medicating internal problems. -Paul On Thu, 24 Feb 2005, steev ward wrote:John- We do need to consider if the worms have something harmful on them or inside them. I collect worms from under the doormat outside my backdoor,but I don't use the ones I find out front where cars park. Sometimes tooaworm will have a gut full of decaying crud that can cause a bacterialbloomin the intestine of the fish. Nutritionally we are often warned that worms are high in saturated fats, and that this can be harmful to fish if they eat worms too often. Occassionally a fish can get constipated by over-indulging in worms; this happens in Discus from time to time and can be quite serious. But all in all they make a good food for fish, and I don't know ofany fish parasites that can be transferred by earthworms; not in thisregion anyway.
