Discus and Whiteworms

[Fish2Keep]

I used to breed Discus Fish, and just wanted to say to anybody thinking of
buying and keeping Discus Fish, invest in a whiteworm culture. There easy to
rear giving you an unlimited supply of free live food and Discus love em.

I'll 2nd that. All you have to remember is to feed & water them
occasionally. They are kept in a closed (vented) container of earth,
don't smell, eat a variety of foods (from bread to flake food). I used
to buy them from a local Discus breeder, and one culture will spin off
many more (if you wanted to increase your output). Lots of fish love
them.

I don't think my wife likes the idea of live worms in the house.
Neither do I. :-)

Mate there not going to crawl out at night and eat the cat.
Get real, as for taking any notice of what a woman wants, since when did
they have an opinion about anything.

But if your Discus do well on them, so be it.

That should get a reaction

I'll 3rd that. When I bred killies (lke I have the time now, hah!)
I fed them nothing but whitworms for about 3 years non stop. Dspite
the warinf they make fish "fat" I found they were slender like they
are when they're wild caught. I would perhaps not go so far as to
say all fish should be fed this way, it's jsut another datpoint.

Keep in mind whiteworms like it cold. I could not grow them in
California, I kept grindals there which are a bit more work,
but newly htached gularis can eat them. Heh.

Oh - I'm back.

"It's all just marketing". Recall they're nothing to do with
fish, it's a vermiculture setup mandated by the local minucipality
as a way to reduce compostable waste. They'll live in a rubbermaid
sweater box in the basement and your better half need never see
them. Grindals are yucky, white worms are odor free, clean and
not horrid. Frozen bloodworms are 1000% yukkier.

See http://killi.net/feeding/live/cultured/worms/white/
for a care sheet.

Anybody in Ontario culturing daphnia or moina?
