cyber_crimes Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I had an 80L tub going and my young bloke threw anything and everything in there (biscuits, banana, dirt, grass, pencils, stickers and I even found a few of his toys lol) BUT it had the most wrigglers I have ever seen. My fish were loving it up untill I couldn't handle the smelly water outside anymore and flushed the lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's not the mozzie wrigglers themselves but other things that can be transferedlike Hydra or Fish LiceLost my male Neon Blue Ram from this ............ being a planted tank it was too latebefore I saw the fish louse attached to him and he never really recovered fromwhat I think was a secondary bacterial infection from this after dropping the louse offso you can give then a soak in a saltwater solution before feeding as it won't worry thewrigglers but should knock over anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy65 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Argulus have a direct life cycle so if your mozzie tubs have no other fish you will be ok regarding fish louse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
