Hey all,
I've never done this before and wanted to get some thoughts on this and see if it has ever been done successfully!
I was thinking that it would be great for my Loaches (and other fish) to have self-sustaining food source in the tank in the form of worms that lived in the sand substrate. Has anyone attempted this before? Specific species that work better? Caveats and concerns?
My tank is a 75 gallon with a substrate that is a mix of large cobble, gravel, and sand. No heater on the tank, heavily oxygenated and "over-filtered". I keep Hillstream (Beaufortia kweichowensis) and Horsefaced Loaches as well as some WCMM and Denison Barbs. I figured the horsefaced Loaches would all love to snack on some worms as would the barbs and WCMM.
Would love to hear thoughts!
