Guys...

Do you feed ur goldfishes live tubifex worms? I read somewhere that tubifex worms are in fact very nutritious... very suitable for growing goldfishes... will pump ur goldfishes... and also pump their head growth... shiok.gif hmm... is this fact or fiction? rolleyes.gif

fact, but dieases control is difficult if u use live worms, the moment the fish is stressed, or water goes bad.. the fish will suffer.. also water changes must be done very frequently to control the water condition as well..

... not to mention it's very very expensive compared to hygienic frozen bloodworms.

There's really no good reason to feed live tubifex worms that I can think of.

my guess is, the reason will be when the fish is in the YOUNG baby stage, It will boast its growth rate. But the common practise by pros will feed live Daphnie (still cannot spell it correctly mad.gif ). But i really doubt it will boast growth rate or head growth once it move into adult hood, at least not significantly fast.

upon further reading, it said that feeding tunifex worms are not suitable food for breeding goldfishes (females) as it may clog the egg passage... ?!?!? becos it will make the fish fat fat... hmm.gif

It's Daphnia (change e to a can leow.)

Try asking for Daphnia at LFS and you'll probably get a blank stare back.

Ask for "Boon1" in hokkian.

Careful hor... don't anyhow ask LFS auntie "Xcue me, li wo poon boh?" biggrin.gif

actually, it's the too much fat that will clog the ovary duct of the goldfish... same theory applies to human too... sometimes woman too fat cannot get pregnant becos the egg passage is blocked by too much fat.... hmm.gif

hehe... actually it's an indonesian book called "Budi Daya Koki, pengalaman dari tulungagung"... translated as " Rearing Breeding Goldfish, experience from Tulungagung". Tulungagung is a city in Indonesia where most goldfish farms are situated... It's written by one of the most experienced goldfish breeder... But damn it, the pics in the book.. really horrible... tongue.gif
I haven't got dicam, so I will scan later... smile.gif
