Howdy,

Who else raises their own feeders?

I've been raising the following for quite a while now:

Redworms (Eisenia fetida)

Wo hast du platz fur so viele viecher, Kristian??
 
Nice-looking scuds. Any trick to keep their numbers high? Mine always reproduce slowly.
 
LOL, I have a rather tolerant wife and a packed hobby room :D

As for keeping the colony productive enough for harvest, it's always a matter of how big the colony is :naughty:

i do!
I raise white worms, microworms, endlers, goodeids, red wigglers, vinger eels, infusoria, wild neocaridina, bridgesii snails, common snails (rams, mts, and ponds), minnows, and guppies for feeders.

don't you possibly have a breeding colony of fiddler crabs in one of your tanks too?

Red Cherry Shrimp. I guess they count as in-tank feeding colony for my spotted raphael :naughty: The crabs keep molting, but I have the suspicion they need brackish for reproduction?
