Re: [Killietalk] Live Foods

["Joe Scanlan" <drkillinut at charter_net>]

In a pinch we can all use finely chopped shrimp, or earthworms.  Most 
killies go after these with real vigor when they find out how good they 
taste!  The trick is to keep dead food moving.  I sometimes aspirate the 
food from the bottom of the tank and squirt it back onto the surface. 
Personally I think we all would raise our own earthworms if we knew how easy 
and odorless they are when properly kept.      J. Scanlan
