how about an exchange?  i can give u not only microworms but also microfex (a form of mini tubifex easy to raise at home) worms, both highly sought after on aquabid. i have seen microfex on sale for over 15 dollars there. so i guess they are worth an exchange. u can read up on them here
http://sunny-stars.com/microfex.aspx
u can watch a video here

they are excellent for breeding fish. my dwarf cichlids have done very well, and breed again and again. i am sure your shell dwellers anyway produce a lot of fry that u can exchange. |

Romi,
we live in the wrong place.. South is where all the action is. i dont have any fry at the moment. think the calvus is eating all of them up. i have a habitat kind of tank. but i would appreciate if you could spare some culture. i might be tempted to get some fry. you can have them if i can raise some fry. no issues there |

@Kunal, ok, i will ask rajaram for the bristlenose.
grindal worms and microworms have a major size difference. the way u use them with a slash implies they can replace each other. this is not so at all. research this and get back to me. i can give u microworms if u are sure u want them. i have four worm live food species actually  They can be used from fry to small juveniles, going on to small adult species and finally, large fish like oscars! Each size of fish needs a different species of worm or other live food!
can u put up a few pics of the ocellatus? |

Romi,
i didn't mean them in alternate. just wanted to get some live food for the fish. microworm is fine with if you can spare me some. but you will have to ship it to me as i stay in Allahabad.
i only have Brevis not Ocellatus. can post a few pictures if you are interested in Brevis. The exchange offer still stands. |
