Blackworms not Dirty?

[Bernd Bussler]

ALSO, I have not heard of the black Mückenlarfen transmitted diseases, the images can be transmitted to vertebrate diseases.
We mostly the genus Culex is to catch the fütere for 25 years and I’ve never had problems, especially culex only in waters without fish occurs therefore no parasites and diseases can be introduced.

Thanks Bernd Bussler. To clarify, I should say that I am talking about Lumbriculus sp. Forgot that the common name might not be so helpful.

Have googled, bristle worms seem to be to have to say the bristle worms to their name, the bristles as the name says, can bowel problems in susceptible fish cause for armored catfish are important but paros I think they are dangerous. I have never fed from the ground, and I also think that they are too large to be eaten by smaller Paros. Here in Germany they are called Tubifex and are on sale on Aqua trade. I personally advise against and off quindecim there is probably no Paro could easily eat :sick:

Really? These are not bristle worms or tubifex. Tubifex are dirty; Bristle worms have bristles. These do not.
Here is a short page about them.

We are not talking of the same worm, the worm that you mean it is called here gloss worm and is suitable for feeding. It probably belongs to the genus of earthworms, I myself have not yet caught him, at least not consciously, but now and then I have seen in my aquariums one. Earthworms are an excellent food, but since they are usually slightly larger may make you more likely to feed on large fish. The way of life of Glanzwürmen similar to the Tubifex, so nice if you have a food source.
