Re: [Killietalk] blackworms and water quality

[Pjeversman at aol_com]

When I first started using black worms, I used plain tap water to rinse  
them, because that was what the fish store had used.  Then I thought that I  could 
improve on that by adding dechlor to the water.  When I added fresh  tap 
water the worms seemed very active but not distressed.  Then I added a  drop of 
dechlor to the center of the container and the worms went nuts.   They tried to 
flee the area.  Now, I just rinse daily with tap water and  they do fine.  I 
don't even chill the water first.  I just use cold  water straight from the tap.
