Re: [Killietalk] Blackworm

[George & Melanie <caraway at erienet_net>]

If you only have a few fish to feed, 30 redworms may be sufficient, but 
if you have many pairs of breeders set up and a lot of 10 gal. tanks 
with many fish of various size and age you will need a lot more than 30 
small worms.  When I feed my blackworms to my fish I simply dip a 
plastic baster into the blackworm container and suck out the amount I 
want and put them into a small plastic cup with water. Then I just go 
from tank to tank with an eyedropper feeding each tank. Pretty simply 
and quite fast.
