Hello All,
Though I know I didn't get a response on my earlier post, I thought I
would share a little experiment that I started a while ago.
To test this possibility, I placed 15 bloodworms with a fertilized egg
in a very small container with water. That was probably two weeks ago.
While all but one of the bloodworms has died (during transformation?),
the egg is still there... intact and good.
So while this little experiment is far from scientific, it would
hypothesize that bloodworms do not eat eggs. Now before you
(sarcastically) say, "Wow, aren't you smart. I already knew that
bloodworms are herbivores," keep in mind that I had a fish species that
I lost (and live bloodworms were in the peat). So put one and one
together, and you have the possibility for bloodworms being egg eaters.
It was worth a test. Now my theory on that pair of fish is that they
just were not very fertile. Too bad too, as they were nice.
I thought someone might find this interesting.
Cheers,
Mark
