What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I mix oats with the yogurt and then alternate, dry cat food pummeled into a powder, small TDO ChromaBoost pellets, flakes and yeast.
Wow Kevin! You offer yours a literal smorgasbord! (No offense to this wonderful Smorg family!)

That video you posted showed the guy mixing oats in to the yogurt and adding fish pellets. I'm not sure I'm that dedicated. They may get a dry dog biscuit when I remember! LOL! My worms will be begging to be fed to the fish to be put out of their misery! Just kidding, I'm going to try and get them growing. The bag of 'stuff' I received from John has tons of adult (I'm assuming) worms all the way down to these little 1/8th inch ones. Plus, these weird things that John said were cocoons. Now I can honestly tell people that I have worms! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

So stoked to hear that!!
It's mad about something! It has it's sweepers out brother? Is there anything too close to it?
Im not sure why it came back that way lol. It's in the same spot near other hammers that it's always been. It never did this before the injury, but is always like this now. It is curious for sure

sounds as good as your homemade dogfood. pictures please!
 
trying homemade burgers tonight. mixed in onion, garlic, 3 cheeses, basil, dill, mushrooms, salt, pepper, paprika and made 3/4" thick presses. freezing now in the -20 freezer so shouldn't take long.

Those sound delicious! I can see the cheese and onion on there too!
 
I feed cheap tropical fish flakes. I just scatter them thinly and replenish when the worms have consumed most or all of them. John feeds whole wheat bread, smeared with plain Greek yogurt, and brewers yeast (I think). I have a jar with holes drilled in the lid to sprinkle water over the substrate when it's getting dry. My worms have comparative quiet until 3:30 pm when they are exposed to the cacophony that only a family of twelve can create, accompanied by classical music while homework is in progress, then a mix of country and folk with a rare folk/rock that is considered acceptable. The worms are thriving so far.😁
Fish flakes! Yes I completely forgot about this. I did this in the beginning and the worms absolutely loved it
 
wow....that's like Kobe cows with the Hawaiian massages before they go to market. So you give the worms classical music before they get eaten. Well done Wes... I wonder if you play classical music if the fish start drooling? :zany-face:
Like Pavlov's dogs?
