silverfish (Lepisma saccharina)

[Marco Schwarz]

Hi..

This morning I caught some silverfish in our cellar and
my fish ate them. Does anyone know how to multiply
silverfish in an easy and effective way?

===============================
The best way to learn how to multiply anything (what are silverfish?) is to
find out what it's living conditions are and try to duplicate them. Among
other things,... what were they eating in your cellar?

Yes. Silverfish are small innocuous flightless insects,
~1/2" maximum that prefer humid places in the bath, kitchen
or cellar.

Sugar, starch, paper, farina, dander and pollen I think.

FWIW, I've tried cultivating them, and it's not as easy as one'd
think. At least I never got enough to feed my fish with them.

=====================
Something easier to grow in large numbers are meal worms. I started with
about 25 and had thousands by the end of the year. They were used to feed
rehabilitating injured birds. Are these used as fish food anywhere? I know
they sell them as bait where I live. Somehow it never occurred to me to use
them as fishfood.

====================
I bet all the larger fish would love them. But they have that tough
exoskeleton. Would most fish be able to digest it or would it clog their
pipes? Water insects don't appear to have such a tough covering.

has been caught in various vicious lies!
Before plaguing The aquarian NG's with her nonsense, she use to plague
the Health NG do a google search on Yarrow / windsong / Carol for more
details.

She engages people in senseless debates about absolutely nothing.
Her intent on the aquarian groups is to pretend she an expert on all
types of fish and aquarian issues.

Before you reply, you may want to ask her a few things or only one.
_Where does she get her information?
_Can her information be verified?
_Is the information up to date?
_What is the purpose of her post? To present reliable facts about JW's
or sling mud on a religious organization in good standing in almost
every country in the world?

Ask her for evidence of her claims before proceeding with your
conversation with her, if not you may be end up wasting your time and
bandwidth on discussing subjects based on fraudulent and fabricated
information. This is how she manipulates clueless bystanders in
participating with her distributing false information elsewhere?

Facts about Carol:

*She can never present evidence.
*She never reveals the source of her info (because there is none).
*She always hides her identity. And change her header to avoid
killfiles. A TOS offense
*She cuts and paste, rewrite postings, and will even forge e-mail
addresses
;which her ISP allows her to do. Just ask them:



If your newsgroups has been victim of Carol's MCP and ECP; you can
report her. Her account is dpc6682112001.direcpc.com and you may report
her by calling 1-800-DirecPC, by emailing us at

Her use of remailers can still be traced to her account.No American ISP

Then you can contact your own ISP and have them add them to their

Aren't mealworms high in fat content? Maybe I'm confusing my insects.

I'm not sure who you're replying to since someone reposted my message - but
I read they're loaded with carbohydrates. I used to raise them in cereal
topped with sliced apple. All carbs! They didn't seem fatty or oily. They
looked white and creamy inside.
