Hi all,

No Micro-worms are too small to be of interest to adult Apistogramma.

I keep a few different live cultures, have a look at <"Apisto cacatuoides tank">.and <"Apistogramma....">.

cheers Darrel

I think a better bet wormwise (is that a word?) would be Grindal worms. Only feed 1 or 2 servings/week or more often for conditioning. They have an extremely high fat content. Overfeeding leads to obesity. I prefer BBS for more regular feeding.
