Thoughts on Fish Health

I wonder if the night crawlers you get at a bait store have any fertilizer/weed killer.....?

Oh and does anyone have experience feeding night crawlers? I agree with Paul that they should be healthy but I'm still a little curious. They seem much easier to breed than black worms so I'd like to go that route instead.

I'm interested to hear your opinion on freeze dried vs. live.

I would go with the fresh worms, I am convinced nutrients and especially vitamins are lost during the drying process.

I would say yes, since many are picked on golf courses and I'm sure they use chemicals on the lawns.
Make sure they are raised or farmed and not picked

Video feeding some worms which are IMO the best thing for fish.

Wow! Thats an awesome tank with a beautiful copper band. I thought I would share an interesting thread on live vs. freeze dried worms from my discus days.

Thanks peleg38, I don't personally like to use anything freeze dried, my first choice is live, then frozen. I freeze them if I am going on vacation and have a tank sitter feed them, other wise it is live every day
