Re: [Killietalk] Harvesting Blood worms

[Harry Faustmann <hwfaustmann at optonline_net>]

Hello Andre. Here is what I do. I collect the bloodworms and the debri they 
live in, with a large net. Empty the net into a bucket with the water they 
came from. Use a transparent container, only to be able to see how this 
works, I use a wide mouth gallon glass jar, and place debri and dirty water 
into the glass jar. Allow all the debri and bloodworms to settle, and place 
a plastic lid,such as a coffee can plastic lid, on top of the jar This .
cuts down on the amount of oxygen in the water. After a few minutes, the 
bloodworms will rise to the surface ,seemngly gasping for surface 
oxygen.Thats when you quickly slide off the plastic lid, and using a small 
net that will fit inside the wide mouth glass jar, quckly net out as much 
bloodworms as you can before they dive back down to the bottom. Replace the 
plastic lid, wait a few minutes more, and repeat. Very soon you will have 
netted most of the bloodworms from the jar. Each netted amount should be 
emptied into a clean water container and then I use a turkey baster to feed 
them to my fish.  My old above ground swimming pool cover would be full of 
bloodworms, right up until the summer months when my family would force me 
to open the pool for swimming.-Hope this helps, Harry.---- Original
