            An image a day. That's all we ask.

Hello

I keep my in a refrigerator set a 10 C. and have no trouble keeping them
alive.  I have a friend in the U.S. who has kept them in running water.  I
believe he used a swimming pool, water fall idea.  He would run the hose
into one end of the pool and let the water trickle out the other end.  I am
not sure what he fed them if anything.  I have visited a Salmon farms in
the U.S. which had a great quantity of tubifex worms and they are often
found in small streams of running water.  I think the water was 24 inches
across and 18 inches deep.  The worms were found on the side of the stream.
 As well we found them at the bottom of the fry pools in the mud.
