She sat under that worm feeder for 2 hours straight, until every last worm was eaten. Good TaterTot!

HAHA!! I got laughed at. But anyways atleast your congo is eating. Alittle thin looking to me but that's normal when they are not eating. Btw, PP where do you get blackworms from? I have never seen any around these parts.

I have to drive an hour to get my blackworms! Next time I think I'm gonna ask for a discount if I purchase a large quantity. I can't keep them in my house with all the puffs I have!

A standard live blackworm feeder cone. No DP tank should be without one, or two. Nor should any Rainbowfish tank, or Tetra tank. I have literally dozens of them. The allow the worms to wiggle out slowly and drop wiggling through the water individually - irresistible to fish. Also, cheap.

Filbert keeps chewing chunks out of them!

I've got one in my 10g DP tank. Otherwise, the worms all just borrow in the substrate.
