How Do You Feel About Feeding Live Worms?

[FishGoneWild]

So how do you guys feeding about cutting up live worms to feed? Today I had to cut up large night crawlers like spaghetti with a scissor. I feel so digusted and will probably never do that again. I have no problem feeding worm as whole but I just don't like the gooey slimes when cutting them up.

I know how you feel...I just cut them directly over the tank, but it's nasty seeing them squirm and the scissors get some slimy coat on them.

Haven't fed them those in awhile because of that. I figured I'll wait until they're big enough to eat them whole

Yuck! This is why I don't feed them the large earthworms anymore. I just trawl the garden for smaller ones, that's all.

I usually do it with my bare hands. I don't break them into a ton of pieces though. Not really different from what I do when I go fishing.

Why not use a knife and some sort of cutting board? you could then just scrape the pieces into the aquarium

Alternatively you can breed your own earthworms, which I hear is pretty easy. And you feed the appropriate sized youngin worms.

I cut up nightcrawlers everyday for a couple of my fish. At first it's a bit off-putting, but after a while it's just 'normal'. Still a bit slimy, but normal.

Scissors, huh........I use the bare-hand method. Rip them into peices for the smaller cichlids. It's a bit gooey, but were MEN, lol. Things like that doesn't disgust me anymore, it's the same with going fishing.
