| Re: Understanding Fish
Dentoid, you can't use a worm feeder in salt water. The worms only live for a few seconds but are eaten before they hit the bottom. I have always fed my fish with a thing that is something like a turkey baster but larger. It is really a rubber bulb with an acrylic tube attached. I use it for everything from feeding to blowing off rocks.
My blackworms breed but I don't breed them in quantity because they are very plentiful here in NY and very cheap. $2.00 worth lasts me about two weeks. I know they are not available in all parts of the country.
They are sold with instructions to keep them in the refrigerator but I believe this is a mistake. They will constantly lost value like this. I keep them in a 2 gallon tank wirh about an inch of water and an airstone. I feed them flakes or pellets and they last indefinately. You can get them on line but I think you have to buy a large quantity.
