I think that the trick with Vinegar Eels, at least, is to have enough cultures
on them so that you can harvest from them in rotation, thus ensuring a steady
supply. Microworms are a little trickier to maintain but the same applies to
them.

Cheers, Andrew

I don't seem to be able to produce the amount of microworms or Vinegar eels
that I need to feed my fry. Grindal worms do a little better (for the larger
fry) but still I cannot get enough, like I am able to with brine shrimp. I
hatch about a tablespoonful of eggs each day. Cheap at last year's prices -
probably very expensive at this year's prices. A can (15 oz) lasts about 3
months at $10 US.
