They are high in protein and have gut bacteria.I don’t do black worms anymore as they have no value for the fish besides just haveing some live to eat that is why I went to WW.

I kinda liked the Lineatus and C. isoscoles hotness too!
Is the Gold Flake going in a full blown reef tank? Love to hear your experience with this fish. Always wanted one but was a bit afraid of what it would limit me to in the way of coral.
If everything is glued, the damage they can cause is limited.How destructive would a Red Coris Wrasse be? I know they are known to flip rocks, but if they are glued down they should be fine right?. I don't really have a CUC so i'm not worried about that
Where'd you hear that? I think your thinking of tubifex. True blackworms are different.Never fed live black or white worms. I heard black worms carry parasites so I have been reluctant to use.
How do you get them out of there to feed, just take a scoop and rinse off the soil? Is it a sustainable culture like do they breed enough to keep up with demand or do you have to buy them repeatedly?First of all Big up to MR. Paul B he put me on to the black worms and then to the white worms which are better than the black as they can be gut loaded to feed your fish and they stay alive in the tank for a few days also.
I keep them in a container with potting soil and feed them wheat bread soaked in yogurt also nori sheets and some other things. My fish love them don’t talk about my wrasses.
I just started back my tank a few months back but it’s getting there.
Black worms
There’s a pic of the tank a few post up.

What soil do you use? No concern about getting some potting soil or soil additives in the tank?
I'm not pinpointing one or the other. I was told by a LFS that "black" worms have parasites. TJ mentioned above the tubifex are sometimes called black worms and they may be carriers given their locations where they are collected.Where'd you hear that? I think your thinking of tubifex.

Cool thanksI have a clear plastic mesh that I put on top of the mud the worms go onto that then I put it in ro water to get them off. You can also do the same way you said. Yes they do breed enough to keep up my demand. I got a small culture from Paul B a few months back and the container is filled with them now.
I use organic potting soil and no I don’t worry about a little getting in the tank.
Yeah tubifex are not the same.I'm not pinpointing one or the other. I was told by a LFS that "black" worms have parasites. TJ mentioned above the tubifex are sometimes called black worms and they may be carriers given their locations where they are collected.
Don't mind my ignorance, but what does R.O.E. stand for?
Thanks Chad. I located some at my lfs. Actually according to the website WWC carries them so I'm going to pick some up on my next day off. I'll let you know if it works. Keep your fingers crossed.
