Eisenia fetida (Red Wrigglers) as Fish Food???

Post by Shovelnose »

Has anyone here tried Eisenia fetida as fish food??? There seems to be a regular supply of these where I stay and it sounds like a better food than blood worms for bagrids.

Vicar: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.
Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.

There is a thread here <http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... hp?t=40827>.

I've always fed my fish some earth-worms. Cichlids don't like Eisenia fetida, but it looks like most catfish don't differentiate between species.

Thanks Darrel! I think I will go ahead and try with a small culture.
