The otherday I was wondering about the nutritional status of microworms. Is
it possible to enrich them by the addition of small amounts of commercial
enrichment preparations made for brineshrimp or by the addition of vitamin
of mineral supplements.

A week ago my mogurndas hatched. they are now greedily eating brine shimp
nauplii and microwm. I have one worry however. Ken Shaw, (ANGFA WA
president), mentioned to me that when he had mogurnda fry the larger of the
fry started to pick on and eat the smaller fry. Is this a problem that
happens often and if so at what size should I start to separate big from
small fry?
