  1. White worms, Black worms

    I have been feeding blackworms to fish for about fifty years and still do, but now I also raise white worms because I wanted something that I could "fill" with fish oil before I fed them to the fish. Here are some white worms. I put that piece of Matzo in there about 2 hours ago. in a couple of more hours it will be gone and it was covered in fish oil. I just take a knife and lift out a blob of worms from the top and no dirt comes along with it.
    I also feed them Cheerios with ...

  2. Worms as food

    Worms, I love worms and if it were not for worms I would not have this hobby, thats how much I rely on worms(although I never tasted them myself)
    I use two types of worms for food, California Blackworms and lately, white worms. Blackworms are fresh water worms and white worms live in wet soil. Blackworms only live for about 15 seconds in saltwater but my fish eat them very fast so they never make it to the bottom. Whiteworms are smaller and live for a few hours in saltwater.

  3. Anenone ate but spit it out...

    Yesterday I fed the anemone with a piece of shrimp. All seemed good, it gobbled it down slowly, was looking great after. Today it was looking good too, then 15 min ago I noticed it was all shtiveled up, deflated, and the shrimp piece was lying nearby...

    Doesn't seem like any tank mate pulled it out, for the piece is just sitting there and nobody is eating it, nobody is even touching it... not even the mithrax crabs...

  4. new fish addition

    So my girlfriend Emily loves boxfish. we have had a couple tries at it with longest lasting six months. i really do not like the fish because how hard they are to get eating. Well i broke down after seeing this guy come in where i work on ocasion. he was eating fine and had been in a system with copper for a week, so pulled the trigger. he was very timid the first three days but going about picking at the rocks and staying out of the other fish way. then he finally starting eating, he now has a ...

  5. Rod's Food "problem"

    Calling it a problem is really over stating what's going on, but I'm looking for opinions none the less.

    As you may know if you've followed along, my little 29 gallon has gotten healthier, but I've lost several fish to jumping and am now down to 1, a Flameback Angel.

    Everytime I feed the angel, he fixates on the large pieces in Rod's original mix, most of which are too large for him to eat, grabbing them and then spitting them out and then grabbing them and then spitting ...
