raising australe on microworms

[RuevenM at aol_com]

Hi,

    Microworms are a very poor first food for almost all killies. They are 
too large -- contrary to the will-not-die popular myth that they are smaller 
than baby brine shrimp. They do not have the food value of brine shrimp 
either. Strart the fry on a little green water and LIVE baby brine and in 
about two weeks see if they will eat microworms as an additional food. Baby 
brine is the easiest and best first food for those fry that do not have to 
have infusoria or rotifers -- which are both good to use for a few days even 
with the brine.
