So, I'm starting a new guppy tank and plan on doing better that I have in the past. One way, I'm going to using walter worms for the fry. I know that walter worms are not complete in their nutritional value and I was wondering if anyone has tried throwing some flake food in their worm culture so that the worms have more nutritional value? I don't know if they'd eat it or if it would kill them off fast than normal, so I wonder if anyone has tried it?
Cheers,
Greg

Have not tried that. For the worms I just start a culture up by putting them into a container with mashed potatoes and a bit of yeast.

Here is the nutrional breakdown of walter worms: 59% protein, 18% lipids,15% fat, 3% glycogen, 2% organic acids, and 3% nucleic acids
