I have always been fascinated with live feedings for fish, they really get to display their natural hunting behavior, so I thought maybe try bristleworms? I am thinking of setting up a separate bristleworm breeding tank used to feed an arrow crab and a neon dottyback, just wanted to share and curious if anybody else uses bristleworms as live food?
 
a lot of fishes would hurt themselves trying to eat that, they will get bristles in their mouth. There are some fishes that can eat but I can't remember which.
 
Yep, I can't find any in my tank since my melanurus matured.

Black worms and white worms might be worth considering too, but you don't culture them in a tank.
 
I would make sure only my arrow crab and neon Dotty Back get them, both love And can safely bristle worms, just thought it would be a cool idea because I have an extra small tank laying around so I figured why not give it a try, Live food is the best food!
