sorry to intrude like this, but I am interested in a little more details about microworms.
Do the microworms release something in the air? foul or toxic smell? I have a pregnant wife at home and I am wondering if it will be safe for our baby.
Do I have to keep the microworm culture indoors or can they be left outdoors? I am assuming they are temperature sensitive??
BTW, I have angelfish fry too (my current batch is 9 days old). I hatch live BBS for them. I feed enough for the day and then I use bottle caps to store the left overs and freeze them. This way, I only have to hatch them once or twice a week. I also use finely crushed NLS pellets for the fry for emergencies.
When the fry are free swimming, they are really tiny and crushed flakes are still too big for them. From my experience, it takes at least 1 month for the fry to be big enough to accept crushed flakes.
My best advice for their survival is:
1. Food (live if possible for the first 2-3 months)
2. Very clean water.
I've lost whole batches of fry because of slight foulness in the water. Make sure to clean up the left over food every night. A sponge filter is not enough.
I know its a little off topic, but this information is very important.
