Re: [Killietalk] walter worms

["Scott Davis" <unclescott at prodigy_net>]

They are used by a couple of us in Chicago. Essentially a variably size
microworm.
(Wished we could have palavered about this type of stuff when you were in
town.)

Wright Huntley, on Killietalk, noted what they were and shared a novel way
of feeding them on 1/23:

"Helmut Walter, who brought us his "mini-mikro" worms showed us how to float
a bit of porous foam, with the worms in a small depression on top This meant
they gradually worked down into the water, and fell one or
two at a time over a long period. Surface-feeding babies were far more
likely to find and scarf up those."

Barry Cooper took some photos, see:

All the best,
Scott
