This morning I am washing my worms. My neighbors think I'm nuts and that my PTSD got worse.
My culture of white worms is very old, maybe 10 years and there are tiny flies hatching in there. More flies than worms so it, of course is outside.

I am going to leave them flooded for 24 hours because I know the worms can live submerged for five days in salt water, but I am hoping the fly larvae can't SCUBA dive for long.

I don't want to order a new culture because these are very big for some reason, much larger than the original batch.
I think they are Godzilla Larvae. ;Wideyed

Good morning. I am just mucking around in the tanks changing pumps and feeding. They havent been scraped in 3 days so I cant actually see the fish.

Take 50 of the largest ones and place them in a fresh culture.

selective breeding

That was my Idea and if I get time I will do that. The culture I am using now is the result of doing that a few years ago so i assume this is necessary. Eventually other things start growing in these cultures like flies.

Not scared at all? Does your heart always beat like that?
I admit I did 5 completely different things over the years and was always excited for the change.

Some people call it fear, some people call it an adrenaline rush - but whatever its called we just need to make sure that it doesn't get in the way of making a difference in the world!
