Callatya Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 How do you like to buy your blackworms? I am a big fan of loose blackworms that are bagged in front of me, as i know how long they have been in the bag, and i can see the entire batch. I don't mind pre-bagged, but if its any longer than a day, they go a bit mushy IME i like the concept of these pre-pack thingies (are they juice popper things?) but there are never enough worms in them, and they are hard to get out they look cool though, and for small scale fishkeepers i think they are a great idea! (and i want a little blue fridge for my desk ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I buy all my live foods loose, I watch them scoop them out. I get a 20ml serve of BW for $2 I saw those pre pack things a few weeks ago, and I was overwhelmed that they sell. That is not really *fresh* in my eyes.

Amoi Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I have seen those pre-packed BW before but have never bought them. I like them just being given to me in a plastic container like the chinese takeaway tubs. Easier to dish out that way. Cheers Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I bought some pre-bagged at W&D in Penrith last weekend and they are in surprisingly good nick. I sterilised them with Myxazin to be on the safe side. Usually I prefer them to be bagged in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkFishy Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 They pre-bagged one are the only ones I have access to in my area. They come from Pisces and I make sure I know the day they are arriving and snap them up straight away. They are expensive but they do stay very fresh in that little bag. I just keep it in my fridge and regularly clean the water in it. The little fridge is a neat idea ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najoha Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Whinged to every Lfs around to get live food and then they get the little packets. You would think I would be happy but no . One of those is one feed at my house! Definately find out what day they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Abbey, did you just buy one so that you could get that picture? I like getting mine from the fish hatchery where they bag them fresh for you and you get no dead ones and they are in clean, cold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 for easier access to the pisces BWs, turn the bag upside down, crimp the bottom flat and cut across it with scissors. You can then pour them into a disposable cup, etc. Easier for water changes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 no, i got the weeks muddled up, they buy bulk on one week, and prebaged the next this week was pre-bag week... I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 South Windsor Fish Hatchery (Windsor Koi Hatchery) on the corner of Richmond Rd and George St, Windsor mainly ponding stuff, but their bettas are getting better and better Their trops aren't too bad either, and they stock the full Sera range too, i think.
