Who wants live blackworms? (for arrival 07/10/2010)

[sskruzr]

anybody up for some blackworms????????????????????????????

I think I'd like 2 pounds since I have so many corys to try and breed.

Anybody else?

[sskruzr]

Come on, I see you lookin'

[mewickham]

I'm in for 1/2 lb.

[sskruzr]

I'll contact WUW. Hopefully they'll take a pound.

Don? Give me an excuse to run to Neosho or you to show up to the meeting.

[sskruzr]

Sorry everybody. Delivery date should be the 10th not the 3rd.

Price? I'm probably in for at least the other half of Mike's pound.

Here are the usual details, including price:

It's that time again. We band together now and then to get a great price on live blackworms. Practically all fish love them and it's fun to offer them to our fishy friends. We need to order a total of five pounds to get a good price. If you would like to order some, details are below:

You would be responsible for picking up your worms at my house in Rogers on the day that they arrive—probably Friday (07/09/2010). I have limited capacity to store up to a pound or so for delivery to the monthly meeting on (07/10/2010).

The price would be the same as I actually end up paying, rounded up to the nearest dollar. It should work out to $13 for one pound, or $7 for a half pound. If you want to order, go to https://paypal.com and click on the "Send Money" link. Follow the instructions to send money to my account (info@mikewickham.com). If the price ends up being less, I'll refund the difference when you pick up your worms. Or you can pay cash when you pick up the worms. (I'll take a check, but prefer cash so that I don't have to make a special trip to the bank.)

I make no guarantee beyond what the shipper offers to us.

Live blackworms are very easy to keep. I use a mini cat litter pan (10" x 14"). I place a pound of worms in it, in about an inch of water, and place the whole thing in the refrigerator. The worms should be rinsed every day at first, but as quantities dwindle, and they clean themselves out, they can be rinsed less often. No aeration or feeding is necessary. They last for weeks.

To rinse the worms, I merely stick the pan of worms under a faucet and run pure cold water to fill it up. Then I let the worms settle and pour off the dirty water. Repeat a time or two until the water is clean. Stick it back in the fridge.

Fish go nuts for these worms, so here's your chance to spoil your fish and have some fun watching them worm wrestle!

Cutoff date to order is this Tuesday morning, 07/06/2010. You can post here if you want some.

I talked to Bobby at WUW and I believe they'll be in for a pound. Come on people, we only need one pound to get to 5.

What happened with the blackworms? Were they ordered?

Wish I could join in I missed the HAAS order.

We didn't reach the five pound minimum. So the order was never placed. In the future, we should probably think about placing smaller orders, even though the price per pound will be higher.
