killiguy Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 They are a very useful food.I culture them on poridge and feed them with bakers yeast.They are small but tiny cichlid fry (esp Rams) do well on them.They are great for fry just too small for BBS like some killis and some rainbows.They are one of the easiest live foods to keep going and are good in combination with BBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy65 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 thank you mike do you keep them? Yep...sure do. I mix them with the live BBS I feed twice a day...as Killiguy pointed out...theyre great for small fry. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy65 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 A tip...when using porridge don't follow the preparation directions on the packet....for some reason for me it just has never worked well (and a few other people have told me the same thing) I use one cup porridge (cheap Coles stuff) and add one cup of HOT (not boiling ) water straight from the tap...I then mix it well with a fork...Ive found if you over mix it the microworms don't do well, if you under mix it they don't do well...(just like Goldilocks is suppose) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
