hahahaha this comment made my day

"But you can’t put one in a five-gallon tank that you started last Tuesday and teach it to eat ramen noodles while it watches Oprah Winfrey give away Cadillacs to homeless cats."

Very good read. I agree we would all have less problems with our fish if we catered to their specific diets better. Luckily we have the ability to do so if we care to find out. I guess I'll have to start hatching out more brine for my Mandarin as well. I wonder where I would find blackworms for my copperband since he says bloodworms aren't good for them. When I click on the link he says that he gets them at his LFS in the States but they aren't readily available for the rest of the world other than ordering large quantities online. I would think that would get very expensive.

I was told that the LFS next to Aquatic Kingdom has live black worms, and also Aquapet in Scarborough (Midland & Steeles).

I actually feed my CBB with freeze dried blackworms from canadianaquafarm. In addition to this, my CBB also eats PE Mysis and Reef Frenzy food.

Thank you very much for the reply. I'll try to get out soon and get some. My CBB has always eaten well and eats frozen Mysis at the moment but anything that can help keep the fish healthy is a bonus in my mind.
By the way, your tank looks beautiful!

You may want to call first and I am not 100% sure they have it. The name of the store is called something like Discount Dragon Aquarium.

Dude, I just saw your signature now that I'm reading this thread in my web browser instead of tapatalk.... nice tank! You MUST make a thread about it!! Well, not if you don't want to I suppose :p but we would certainly enjoy it.

On another note. The article posted is very interesting... and led to me reading about blackworm culturing. Any of you guys know of live blackworm sources in the London area??
