Adddo, thank you but you don't have to be humbled, there are many much nicer looking tanks than mine out there. Mine is just older.

I am loving the blackworms for sure. At least 2 or 3 LFS in my area have added blackworms to their inventory since we began our conversation, Paul!

Andrew, the frogs were actually 3 different colonies. When moved from the 75 to the 180, the largest single colony broke into about 5 sections, so technically that is 7 colonies.

Paul B · 10/27/2009, 01:11 PM

Blange I got LFSs all over the country to start selling worms, I am waiting for some kind of compensation

lux_06 · 10/28/2009, 06:33 PM

Blange and Paul - do you recommend live or frozen black worms? And do you feed them to the coral?

I know live black worms are great for getting wild collected fish feeding well and easily moved on to frozen foods.

I use live blackworms. I don't target feed the corals, they get the leftovers.

I believe Paul does target feed some of his corals.

Paul B · 11/03/2009, 12:41 PM

I have never seen frozen blackworms, only bloodworms which are not worms and not a great food for saltwater fish. I also feed my corals live blackworms. The corals that could eat them that is. My torch coral eats smaller worms and my large cup corals or mushrooms also eat them aling with bubble corals and frogspawn. At least the frogspawn looke like it is eating them, it is hard to tell.

urbanrat84 · 11/04/2009, 03:18 AM

Aren't black worms a type of tubifex worm? You can get frozen tubifex... Otherwise I am getting the two confused

Paul B · 11/04/2009, 05:26 AM

They are both worms but tubifex are smaller and dirtier, they are collected in drainage ditches sometimes in very polluted water. California blackworms are commercially raised in ponds for food for fish.
