Rugops Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 As the title says. There aren't like a crazy amount but there is quite a bit of em. A frag of something would be nice but I am in dire need of bumblebee snails. PM me if you have questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatfrenchfries Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Surprised no one has scooped this up. Unlimited live food with minimal input. Sounds like an awesome deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatfrenchfries Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 They last a few days in saltwater. If your fish/inverts haven't gobbled them up. While I wouldn't make this main source of nutrition I highly recommend the enrichment value it has on your fish. Never seen a fresh/salt fish not be enticed by something alive and wriggling. It's awesome to feed to coral because anything your coral doesn't eat will wriggle away and be foraged by fish. I usually do this for foraging fish that need to be adopted to frozen. Also the worms are able to be gutloaded to an extent. Screen_Recording_20230720_083822_Facebook.mp4 Old video from my FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatfrenchfries Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The heat has slowed down production immensely for my white worms. I keep mine room temperature with a backup in a cooler set to 65F Grindals do grow faster than white worms in general. They're also better adapted to the heat. 45 minutes ago, LavenderTi said: I'm trying to increase population of the ones I got from you. I think my basement isn't quite as cold as they like. You could get a cheap plastic cooler and put them in with frozen water bottles as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugops Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 It's quite amazing to see my nem eat these. You can see how the worms are reacting to being stung. They get an awesome feeding response from fish and coral alike. I kinda dont feed my fish these anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put them with some freezer blocks to cool them down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
