Re: How do you keep live black worms alive?
Sorry for the disappointment, I don't know anything about them. Did they come from a pet store?
Have you tried looking it up on Google? I can't think of any better suggestions right now.

Re: How do you keep live black worms alive?
I used to do that. It worked well. Now I keep them in a 1/2g and feed them occasionally. That works, too. There were some directions on their care recently on dwarfpuffers.com. You might want to give that a looky-loo.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Okay. Yes, but maybe blackworms are different? They may need to breath air, I really don't know. Okay, bye now.Sponge bob wrote:I spoken to here before, and she keeps blood worms in one of her tanks.

Re: How do you keep live black worms alive?
I've thought I read something on how they need the water shallow enough where they could breath air. I don't know.
I said bye because I better get outta here before I say something I regret, as I really have no clue.Sponge bob wrote:They look alike some what..Bye?

Re: How do you keep live black worms alive?
Yes, they do need to reach air. I would suggest getting them a container that's got a big footprint and filling that with shallow water.
