Could you tell
me is there
any type of
automated fish
feeding gadget
that can be
used to feed
the fish if
you go on holidays?
Can you recommend
any type of
long acting
food?
With Thanks

I ran out of
fish food this
weekend, and
fed a very small
amount of raw
hamburger to
my archers,
puffers. IS
that a good
substitution
for blood worms
if this ever
happens again?
thanks

Reply. Hello Darrell. I'm not
sure if hamburger is a good substitute
or not. Very lean
meat is probably not bad for Archers
and Puffers, but hamburger with a lot
fat might not be good for them.
It would surely have
been better to feed them bits of fish
or shrimp rather than hamburger.
You should
certainly organize and plan ahead in
the future, so you have the proper food
to feed all of your fish. I hope your
fish are OK.

Hi Tom and
Nevin!
I needed some
info on companion
guppies - answering
a question of
a newbie - and
took a look
on your site,
which I had
stumbled upon
some weeks back.
I found what
I needed and
thanks!
You archive
show was plugging
freeze dried
blood worms
as a food. I
have used live
and frozen ones
and think that
they are great
fish foods.
I would like
to leave you
with a caution
about the freeze
dried ones (and
maybe even the
others) however.
The dust from
them has something
in it which
can cause serious
allergic reactions.
I have never
had problems
with them, but
I use freeze
dried stuff
very little
and scrub down
with baking
soda if handling
frozen ones.
Take a www.google.com
search under
"bloodworms
and allergic
reactions".
I guess no one
should be snorting
their freeze
dried fish food,
;)
You jokingly
refer to them
as mosquitos,
not good p.r.
in this age
of the West
Nile virus scare.
Also, it is
inaccurate enough
to scare away
customers even
without the
health scares.
You correctly
mention they
are gnats (which
mosquitos are
too.) Saying
they are the
same as mosquitos
though would
be like noticing
that neon tetras
and piranhas
are both characins
and pretty much
alike. :)
Bloodworm larvae
are vegetarians.
I've seen them
in my daphnia
cultures and
even inadvertantly
had them hatch
out indoors
in the winter.
(You can bet
my bride was
thrilled with
that!)
The hatched
midges don't
even have mouth
parts, much
less present
a threat of
biting. If you
really want
to get into
that, they belong
to different
genus (genuses?)
and I'm sure
( even far from
being an entomologist)
there are taxonomic
and physical
differences.
I first saw
your names in
a Fish and Egg
listing in an
AKA publication
in the middle
'70s. I was
financially
challenged,
newly - wed,
working and
going to school,
so not in a
position to
purchase a lot
of killies through
the mail (or
any other way).
But your listings
did send me
to the books
and gave me
some dreams
to pursue.
Thanks and all
the best,
Scott D.

Hello Scott. Thank you
for your email and for the interesting
information in it, which I read carefully.
We are
now sure that the freeze dried blood
worms, that we recommend, are freeze
dried mosquito larvae, because the label
on the container says, "Ingredients:
Freeze Dried Mosquito Larvae Only."
You are
certainly right that handling them could
cause an allergic reaction and breathing
the dust might be harmful too. Everyone
should be very careful when handling
anything that is alive or was alive.
We did have many listings
in the AKA (American Killiefish Association)
Fish & Egg Listing a long time ago,
and it's very nice of you to remember
and remind us. Click
here to go to the web site
of the AKA now.
Thanks
again for your email.

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
