Meal worm

[crossback]

Hi all,

Just want to share this with you all.

Meal worm comes in a small round take away; They are not cheap as well.

I would get 3 to 4 larger take away container

I would the put 3 block of wheat bix in each container, after you can evenly put the meal worm on top of the wheat bix.

By haveing the wheat bix ensure that the meal worm is feed, big and fat before feeding it to the fish.

Also the worm can move around.

Now you don't have to use new wheat bix I am sure we all have some that have been sitting at the a back of the pantry.

I would normal keep 1 out ant the rest in the fridge. I would only take anothe container out when I am half way thru the first.

By doing this I found that I have double the shelf life of my meal worms.

As well as I am feed my fish big and healty worms.

Cheers

I keep some of mine in a plastic aquarium and throw in some slices of bread when needed and i find they are quite easy to breed. Another tip for you is if you keep your mealworms in the fridge you should take them out or the fridge for a day about once a week so they can eat.

I seem to breed meal worms better than fish. They like all bran.

Too bad my fish dont like it, the worms I mean

I have always been told not to feed my cichlids live food as it increases their aggressiveness is this true. Also will live food get them excited and help with breeding

I have never heard of a link between live food and aggression levels, though it may make your fish more competitive at feeding time! It can help to trigger breeding behaviour, but is by no means necessary except for some of the more difficult to breed species of fish.
