Hello,
I searched a little and I found 3 species of worms that I can buy for my Apistogramma Borelli fry.Microworms,Walterworms and Vinegar Eels which is better for my fry?
Hi all,
Vinegar eels are very easy to keep, but tricky to harvest, they are also the smallest. Walter worms are a bit bigger, and Micro-worms bigger again. Even Micro-worms are small enough for Apistogramma fry. At the moment I mainly use Banana worms, another very similar nematode worm to Walter and Micro-worms, these are both small and incredibly prolific.
Any of Walter, Micro or Banana Worms are absolutely fine, and very easy to culture. I use these and the Java Moss method <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/index.php?threads/breeding-mikrogephagus-ramirezii.13145/> for all larger fry now (not only Apistogramma), and as soon as the fry are a bit larger I add in Grindal worms and de-capsulated Brine Shrimp. If I get any more tanks I'll go back to hatching BBS.
