10 Gallon Scarlet Gem Badis Species Tank?

[Fishfriend1]

So these fish are exceptionally hard to care for... figures, I think I'm going to take my time getting them. First to deal with my parasitic worms then on to growing whiteworms. Can Badis eat brine shrimp, or are those too big? Also, any tips on growing whiteworms? I can use the 10gal for them and my currently unused 30gal for the badis.

You don't need anything that big. They just need a small plastic container with soil in it. I feed mine wet dog kibble once a week. Just 1 kibble seems to keep them going. Keep them in a cool place. Mine are on the basement floor. They don't smell and are really easy.

Plan on hold, have other issues. Will work on this later, but I know the tank will be upped to a 20gallon tall.

I would use a syringe to suck out a clump of blackworms from the bag and put it in a smaller container with a little extra water and hand pick out the smallest black worms, ones that were only 1/4-1/2" long or so, and then spot feed my Scarlet Badis with the syringe, even though he was the only fish in the tank, he wouldn't be able to find the worms if I didn't stick them right infront of his nose.

i just cut the black worms up and dump them in. mine also taking frozen and will eat some flakes.
