ok but white worms are easy and very cheap to culture. A bit of earth and a slice of bread soaked in milk here and there. I change a bit of earth in my cultures once every 4 to 6 months. Nothing else really...no trouble.

It's your choice but just so that you know, it's not that expensive and not much work. Blackworms I agree can be expensive and lots of trouble to maintain but not white worms. I am just wondering if life food would make a difference for you in this case. Worth a consideration if everything else fail.

The Grizz, I have mine only for a month so I am still on the verdict if it will survive long term or not. He's eating well and have regained all his fat pads but until I have it for 6 months, I cannot be sure he's not affected by cyanide and will not have problem because of this. In my case livefood saved the fish because all he was eating was 3 to 4 PE mysis per day and would not eat any other food except feather worms in the aquarium (quickly gone). It was very skinny and it was not going to survive much longer. Have I not had given it live white worms I do not beleive it would still be alive. Live food saved it.

The freezer is well stocked with PE mysis, manila clams and mussels so I'll just stick with those. Ordering and maintaining live food is more work and expense that I don't need right now.
