Re: [Killietalk] Vacation Time

["wm crash" <wm_crash at hotmail_com>]

Hey Peter,

Buy a lot of live blackworms and dump them in there. I have some "vacation 
mops" that are 4" long and are too short for worms to crawl in therm. I like 
these mops so much, I have short mops only. At 2 months, most killies should 
be able to take blackworms. Some will struggle to break pieces, but will end 
up eating something.

I am often away for 1-2 weeks, and I can tell you this method works. Some 
peatmoss on the bottom of the tank works, as blackworms like to have some 
substrate to stay in. I found this to help keeping them alive in the tanks.

cheers,
wm_crash, the friendly hooligan
