My fat copperband butterfly

Nice looking copperband. I feed mine live black worms and mysis, do you know how the white worms compare nutritionally to the black worms?

I am currently looking to buy blackworms as well to help give it a more balanced diet.

White worms are 70% protein, 14% fat and a few other things, can't remember the others. I do not know the nutritional value of the blackworms, do you?

The nice thing about the white worms is that you can enrich the food they eat easily so you can enrich them with Selcon. They are cheap and easy to culture and to keep.

I found this link to nutritional value of freeze dried black worms. I feed live black worms and have never heard of the white ones but am always looking for other foods that might interest her, she loves the blackworms, there like candy to her.
