i normally feed my fish on live brine shrimp along with an assortment of frozen and dry foods. recently i was at the lfs in providence asking about getting a "starter" culture of daphnia to give the fish a little variety in there live food. the owner told me that daphnia wouldn't be a good choice and suggested live worms. he had black worms andf tubifex worms. i had always thaught that live worms were too risky to feed because of disease. he told me in thirty years he had never had a disease problem he could associate with the worms. as long as you keep them in fresh water, changing it several times daily, they should be disease free and safe to feed. i usually trust his advice, he even has his own radio show on the weekend. i have just read so many bad things about live worms i was hoping to hear about some other peoples experience with them, positive or negative. thanks.
