Good Morning,
It didnt snow yesterday but it is snowing now. Whats the matter with the weather men? Its good and cold . Maybe this afternoon Ill take a walk out back and check the deer population. Last fall I started out with 6 deer, this spring there were only two pregnant does left. So now I should have four. Ive got to bring some more wood in today. Ive used a lot so far. Id also like to watch a football game. I dont think Ill get all that acomplished.
Well lets get back to worm farming and feeding your fish.
1 Feed the worms as they are to your larger fish like Pond Koi, Oscars, adult Angel fish and your more agressive fish will take live worms when offered. Feed only what your fish will consume in a few minutes time. Any food especially worms, will eventually foul the water.
2 Feed the worms dried and crushed to whatever size you need for the fish youre feeding. In order to dry the worms, you need two old window screens, or make two simple wooden frames and cover it with screen. Place the worms in a single layer on one screen, then cover with the other screen You can sun dry these in the summer in a day or so. If you have a basement, garage or work shop you can dry them all year long in an out of the way location. Once they have dehydrated, remove the dried worms and crush to the desired size. Then place them in an old fish food containers. If you are industrious you can dry a large amount in the summer and place the excess in your freezer to retain freshness longer. Since ther are no preservatives or chemicals, These worms will be good for all fish year round.
Nothing could be easier than drying and storing worms as a source of protien and vitamins essential to your fish. I have more guppies than iI can count, and they are all thriving on this dried worm diet. Try it for yourself. By adding the worms to your tank at regular feedings, you should see an improvement within 30 days. Larger more robust spawns and offspring, better color and larger sized adults are all part of the benifit of this improved diet. Even catfish and other bottom feeders scramble when the dried worms fall into the tank. We are pleased to offer this this suggestion as one of the many ways you can utilize the organically grown worms we sell.
3 Another tip: if you plan to grow your own worms to feed your fish, make sure not to try any raw meat in your compost heap to feed them with. Raw meat or any vegetables with chemicals on them can pass on nasty things to your worms like parasites and pesticides.
Good luck and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
STARVE THE LAND FILL AND FEED YOUR WORMS
