To prepare earthworms, you need to rinse them off and take your fingers and go down their body to get the castings out. Depending on the type of fish to be fed, they can be fed whole for larger cichlids or chopped up into many small pieces with a sharp knife for smaller fish.

Oh mine were from Ebay.

But if they are from a fishing shop, they should be fine. as its just fish food.

I use bloodworm pellets bought from a big fish store on Ebay. They're great, all my fish both coldwater and tropical eat them and they last for ages. Great way to feed bloodworm without the usual mess and hassle

yeah fed some and they loved them to the earthworms

why do i need to squeze them

 

[drobbyb]

Castings is the PC word for worm poop. Unless you fancy adding poo to your tank, I'd get most of it out of them

 

[bae1994]

oh #40## do i have too lol

so would it hurt if they were eaten in one as i think they will be

 

[drobbyb]

I suppose it would be ok, but I'm not 100% on that one. I mean, in the wild they don't have anyone to squeeze the poop out, and the fish that eat them seem to do fine.

 

[bae1994]

cool

cool
