>     I am still using grindal and white worms.  I did notice something new
about the whiteworms, maybe someone can answer this.  Normally, when I feed
whiteworms, they fall to the bottom and die within a day or two.  Two months
ago, I fed white worms to a tank of Pantanadon Podoxys.  These fish are in a
brachish water tank.  Anyway, those worms are still alive in the spawning
mops after two months.  Why can they survive in salt water better than
fresh?  I thought worms hated salt!

    White worms (apparently) live amongst seaweed on beaches, and survive
when the tide comes in- mine usually survive 2-3 days in my tanks which is 1
teaspoon salt/gallon
