Tubifex cleaner & feeder

["R. Scott Page" <b_splendens at hotmail_com>]

Look on http://www.betta.org/rainbow/Feeder%20tn.jpg  for a picture of the
method I use to clean and feed tubifex.  I don't know what this thing is
called, it's for cleaning -- but the tubifex ball up in it and then I put it
in an aquarium where it floats and the fish pull worms out of it for several
days.

Nothing is so difficult but that
it may be found out by seeking
