I have always avoided feeding live food, due to concerns with parasites and such.

I don't, but I've heard of many people doing so over the years and they all have healthy fish, from what I have heard.

I thought Diesel did, but I have not heard him around much lately.

I did for a little while with no ill affect and my fish loved them The only reason I stopped is because they just aren't as readily available as I would prefer. Anytime I have the opportunity to treat my fish to something "live" I usualy do (in moderation). I think it's good for them, keeps them on their "toes" ;-)

Diesel is taking a break from the hobby for a while to focus on other things was what he last told me a month or so ago. All he has left running are his frag tanks for his donation commitments.

I feed live black worms about once every couple weeks.

Where are y'all buying them?

That is my question. If there is a local place to pick some up, I would love to.

Let's start a huge farm in your living room! I'm sure the wife won't mind!

Two of the LFSs in Austin carries them so I lucked out.

I ordered from California Blackworm Co. Primarily because they came highly recommended.

I ordered some from California Blackworms last week and my fish love them. I bought a pound (which is a lot), so kept a portion in the fridge to feed live and froze the rest. Looking online, people have nothing but good things to say about them. I don't think it should be the only thing you feed your fish, but should be incorporated in their diet.

Here's where I bought them: https://www.aquaticfoods.com

I agree! I also think its important when feeding these or anything live or unique to adjust your portion just to the number of fish in your tank that you know will eat them. If only 2 or 3 of your 12 fish will eat live black worms, then your portion should fit 2 or 3 fish, and not 12

Is anyone interested in a group buy? Ill see if a LFS is willing to facilitate this. If not, I wouldn't mind heading it up.
