Black worm feeders only cost a couple of dollars for the type that float.

Not sure why you would want one that sinks as the worms will die within a few minutes of being in the tank. Why take the chance on polluting the tank with dead worms?

IMO you would be far better off with the floating feeder as you can take it out when your fish has had enough.

Your wife is going to let you keep black worms in the fridge??? Ewww...
Make sure you rinse them frequently!!

she wont know,she is short and ill put them in the back of the fridge on top.LOLi know they will die.this fish is very shy and is being bullied so i want it close to where he is hiding.rightnow its eating and picking on the rocks and i want to make sure it will stay like that.i will just pull it out after a few minutes so i get no dead worms stinking up my tank

get a piece of 1" clear tubing and put a screen on it with rubber band, then slowly drop it into the tank where she usually stays, then drop the worms into the tube

 

[duke62]

thats a good idea.what kind of screen.will the worms squeeze through a mesh sock

 

[rkaragozler]

yep
