    Talking Three week old kribs + FDBW

    Thought I'd try some freeze dried blackworms on the little kribs......

    [YT]v=J4mqv_nlpsA[/YT]



    I've been able to count 45 and know there are more than that. Dad has been raising them on his own since day 4 when mom was removed back to the Osaka but not before dad had nipped her tail entirely off Tail has grown back and dad has been doing an awesome job with the kids

    They are growing out in my tiny little Chi tank with LOTS of waterchanges

    No - they first hand pick the diseased, rancid ones that are chock-full-of parasites THEN they shrivel them up and sell them

    Well, I can tell you that my wilds are now taking the LBW almost out of my hands and vacuuming it all up, including pulling out my carefully planted Blyxa Japonica! So thanks for providing this service for us!

    I'm going to be putting in an order this week for April and me. If you want some, let me know. I get them from Al on Simply. I used to get them from Mal in Australia - cheaper with our dollar against the Australian dollar and delivery time was almost the same as from US!!!! But he has asked me to order from Al. Mal is working on some secret new product and will be sending me samples so I'll give you some of whatever he has in the works. I'm thinking it's caramel mocha flavored freeze dried blackworms, but I could be wrong

    Thanks Shelley, I haven't even fed all of the stuff you gave me yet. They really like Dainichi. And NLS, and earthworm sticks, and soft and moist, and Colorbits....you get the idea.
