yup they look like that. Should i remove them from my tank? are they harmless or sinister ? i would of thought the crays would eat them, they eat every other worm. anyway Thanks heaps for all the help. John.

i dont have a bebo page anymore?

i thought my crayfish would eat them they eat every other worm i give them, also how did they get there?

Ok, i have a weird "something" growing in my tank. It looks like a plant but red in colour and at the moment it looks like bloodworms that are vertical, one would suggest a plant... right? or could it be algae? However These wee things are very sensitive to touch and are light reactive, they shoot back down under the stones and then come out when they feel safe. They are about 2 cm long from the stones and currently living in my tropical tank in a cave with my fresh water crayfish. One person has said it could be baby crayfish as i have a few in there, but i was in the understanding that they carry their eggs under their tails. Please could i have some advice, is there anywhere in this forum i can post a pic of it? Anyway cheers. John

lol im aready breeding earthworm and mealworms for the other fish and turtles, i wont need to call up a zoo ill need to get a zoo permit soon soo many critters and animals lol. yeah ill give orana park a call to see if they have mice or see where they get theirs. im sure my oscars will have a go at the mice as well, my biggest oscar measures 42cm long and about 10cm wide he is a big boy, bigger than wikipidia says they will grow.lol must be from all the different types of food he gets. cheers.

lol i seen on discovery channell there was a rat on a branch above the water and the arowana jumped outta the water and nailed it, man it was cool it was in slow mo.

Does anyone know where to get feeder mice/rats from? or would it be best to breed your own? I want to feed my full grown Arowana some mice one in a while, my oscars may have a go. lol i seen my ornate birchir have a go at a bird that flew inside and landed straight into my tank (that was soo funny)

well i think if i have a kilo i would get a large plastic container of sorts and fill with mulch or similar i might even switch to meal worms.

i live on a 4 story apartment in the middle of chch Not really an option Thanks anyway

ok then does any one have any idea where to get earth worms in bulk, as i have had a look on trademe and can only find damn tiger worms.

Does anyone know if you can feed tiger worms to oscars and other big fish? as i am trying to locate 1kg of earth worms and only coming up with tiger worms.

kind of, more just to tell them apart from one enother, i can tell which one is james and lars but ppl who come round cant tell. lol James and Lars Named From the two Origional Metallica Band Members. Cheers John

Anyone know how to tag a turtle? i assume you cant Brand them with a hot poker, or can you paint the shell? coz the shell shed doesnt it. anyway anyone got thoughts on this? Cheers John

Hey there just saw your post and thought i'd give my 2 cents worth. I have 2 3yr old snake neck turtles and i was told by a vet that cannot survive a new zealand winter even if they hibernate during the cold winter, they will struggle in the summer also as they can get a chill and get pneumonia once they get this there is no treatment for them they will die within a few days to a week. having said that i live in Christchurch so it gets cold down here, they might be ok if you live in and above Auckland they might be ok outside for the summer. i also have found if you feed them on feeder fish they have more energy and they grow quicker, i assume the feeder fish have alot more vitamins and minerals than bloodworms etc, i also give them meals worms as a treat, give them a varied diet is always good i have also given them frogs, tadpoles, mince meat, venison, beef, fish from fish shop, dead mouse or two (just to give them a challenge for food very interesting with a dead mouse...makes a mess to). sometimes i will put them into my 1000 liter tropical tank for a decent swim, followed by a few hour run around either outside or in the lounge. other than that i love these two and hope i have a long time with them. Thanks.
