I've got to agree with that. My luck with werneri varied considerably
until I started using green water as a first food. My results comes
when I turn a whole tank to green water and just drop in a mop. But I
still wouldn't recommend werneri as a first ordered mop of eggs.
Particularly to a person that has never raised bows before.
