Hello Tsen,

I dont have first hand experience with feeding white worms exclusively,
but I have not seen any deleterious effects feedin Grindal worms for a
month at a time, to condition killies for spawning.

In my experience killie fry does not grow as fast on microworms alone,
as on a mixture of microworms and brine shrimp nauplii. But it probably
depends on the kind of fry.

Best,

George

Has anyone had any experience feeding white worms daily? I have tried it with one baby platy, and it is triple the size of its siblings. Of course I dont know if its organs are undergoing 'fatty degeneration' or not:P
