    Good luck with your new blackworms culturing method, Brinegar.

      Dear Bo:
      I’ve kept blackworms going, for years. I want to increase the yield and quality of this, terrific, live food. I do believe I understand the process sufficiently, to make necessary adjustments.
      Thank you, for your, continued interest and encouragement.
      Sincerely,
      Brinegar

      Dear Gabriel:
      Every time I have a contractor over, to do something, in my crawlspace, he tells me that my crawlspace is “love.” Plumbers and the like are used to crawlspaces, where you have to crawl around, on your belly. In the lower end, I can get around, by simply bending over. The upper end is shorter, but one can still move about, pretty easily. The crawlspace has the same footprint, as my house. I previously had a 55-gallon, quarantine tank, in there. But, I got tired of going down, to feed fish, daily.
      Currently, I’m culturing vinegar eels, in a 10-gallon tank, right next to this, 10-gallon, blackworm culture. The eels are in jars, with just enough tap water, around them, to submerge a heater. The heater is only necessary, during cold months.
      I do love to keep such fare going, for my pets. In actuality, only a small percentage, of the specimens wind up as fish food. The vast majority, live out their lives, in the cultures. I’m culturing Daphnia magma; vinegar eels; fruit flies; and, blackworms. I highly recommend culturing live foods. Fish do best if they get live and frozen foods, on a regular basis.
      Thank you, for your, continued help and encouragement.
      All my best,
      Sincerely,
      Brinegar

      @@ejbrinegar Wow thats sounds awesome, you should have someone dig a few more feet into your crawl space so you can have a basement that you can turn into a whole fish room :D

      Ha, ha: I'm working on that, slowly. I sometimes remove dirt, to fill in spots, in my yard.
