I still feed worms every day and all of my fish (except the copperband) are spawning. I am having a white worm problem. I went to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and when I came back I noticed that my white worms no longer eat Cheerios or Matzo's. I am not sure what they eat any more as I have tried clams and peanut butter along with other things. I still have plenty of white worms but now that I can't get them to eat, it is very hard to harvest them from the dirt. A few days ago I removed all the dirt and placed new dirt on the bottom of their container, then I put window screen over that and replaced the old dirt and worms on top. The worms are migrating down to the new dirt and soon I will remove the old dirt. I think the worms are mad at me for going to Hawaii and leaving them home. I will keep trying different types of food and if nothing works, I will dump them and buy a new culture. Maybe after a while they get bored of certain foods. I really like the white worms because they can live forever in fresh water and I throw them in with my blackworms where they all sit around hugging singing Coom bai Ah.
The whiteworms also live a very long time in saltwater and my mandarins hunt them. Blackworms only live for a few seconds in salt water but they do that Macarana dance before they croak and that is a big enticement for fish, expecially fish with rythum.
This picture has absolutely nothing to do with worms but it is my very new Grand Son Teddy. I put it on here because I can. :wavehand:
