Hi
 Here in Germany most of the bait-earthworms (at least the ones I can readily obtain) should not contain anything, and the contents of the worms' intestinals do count as roughage (don't know if this is used widely in the american english ^^) in my eyes  . I feed them unprepared to many of my fish for over 10 years now.What I read on the net a while ago was a case in the US where a Phractocephalus ate a lot of earthworms that did contain fluorescent stuff (night-bait). When the catfish processed it's meal the other day the whole tank would glow in the dark  . If I remember correct there are worms that MAY be "scented" to attract fish, but I'm not sure if it's true or a wrong memory *gg*.I'm not sure if the "stuff" would be harmful or not, but it's normally not considered to be eaten by anything so it doesn't have have to be harmless >> better stay away. I'd look out for "clean" worms, over here those are even labeled as bait AND food .greets Peter This post has been edited by Hotspot: Jul 24 2010, 02:02 PM --------------------  Strange ways .......... |
