Re: [Killietalk] Tubifex



Hey Kris

I will take you collecting sometime. I know a great site in Corvallis where I would collect them every spring for a few weeks before the water hole dried up. Timing is the hardest part as the hole can dry up quick. The other hard part is cleaning them. I used to run them under a constant trickle of water in a basement sink to wash away all the sediment. The fish really did love them though. It was their once a year treat.

Wright,
Great post. How did they gain such a horrible reputation? Also, can they be sustainably cultured on a small scale? I have kept blackworms in the past, but found that they didn't reproduce fast enough to warrant the time and effort I was spending on them.
