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?

why bother? 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.
Just rinse the dirt off and feed

On color-free (Black and White) moist newspaper or paper towels.

I remember reading a long time ago that collected worms can be placed
on
something (moist paper towel?) for a few hours to 'void' so that they
are
crud free. With other life food (daphina?) you can also gut load.
This
would be a useful way of medicating internal problems.

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 back
door,
but I don't use the ones I find out front where cars park. Sometimes
too
a
worm will have a gut full of decaying crud that can cause a
bacterial
bloom
in 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
of
any fish parasites that can be transferred by earthworms; not in
this
region anyway.
