Looking for Spaghetti Worms

[Steve McKay]

I'm looking for spaghetti worms and can't seem to find them.Inland Aquatics is out of them and only has hair worms,I'm on a waiting list.I e-mailed Indo Pacific and asked them if they had true spaghetti worms or were they hair worms,it has been a month and no response.So I presume they are hair worms.If anyone has any spaghetti worms to sell or knows where I can find some spaghetti worms please let me know.Thank you.

Ok I'll give him a call

[twisted]

if you wanna get him started just ask him what he thinks about marine snow, or phyto gold....

[Steve McKay]

What kind of trouble are you trying to get me in now.

I asked him about marine snow and he went into this conspiracy thing about how the government has no regulations on fish products and the fish tank industry.....i actually checked what he was telling me. there is nothing alive in marine snow or phyto gold. then i checked his stuff the dt's phyto plankton. under a microscope his product has life. he is pretty interesting and spent some time on the phone with me answering tons of questions....

[Steve McKay]

That works for me.

Marine Snow was one of the products that Dr. Ron Shimek reported on several years ago. According to that analysis, it's 99% water.

Dennis Tagrin does not sell spaghetti worms or any invertebrates as far as I know. He sells live phytoplankton, oyster eggs and similar food items.

[Steve McKay]

I've been to his website and I didn't see any invert's but I didn't know twisted was referring to DT's as in DT's phytoplankton I had a inkling though.

[twisted]

sorry for the wrong lead....i figured he sold all kinds of stuff

[Steve McKay]

No big deal I'll get some from Ninong.

The spaghetti worms that Inland Aquatics sells are very nice. If they choose to call them spaghetti worms, that's their choice. This is no different than calling every worm we find in our aquariums a bristleworm. There are well over 6,000 species of bristleworms (polychaetes). Every polychaete can be called a bristleworm if you choose. That's what the word means in Greek: many bristles.

Any worm that reminds someone of spaghetti can be called a spaghetti worm if that's what they feel like calling it. Common names are useless anyway. I don't think it's really important whether the so-called spaghetti worms that Inland sells are terebellids or cirratulids. Whatever they are, they reproduce like crazy in a reef aquarium and they keep the top layer of the sand bed in motion. They also provide valuable nutrition in the form of polychaete larvae.



P.S. -- Hermit crabs will eat their exposed buccal tentacles. You may want to remove any hermit crabs before investing good money in spaghetti worms. In fact, hermit crabs will eat a lot of the good stuff in the top of your sand bed.

I've used the DT pods before and was very happy with that product. I didn't know he was selling phyto too now so I'll definitely be checking that out as well.

[Steve McKay]

Thanks Ninong.

Well, that's news. I didn't realize Dennis was now selling live marine copepods, too. His original business was live phytoplankton and then he added oyster eggs. Looks like he has now added live copepods.

his copepods are real good too. i bought from him several times and was real happy with them. he's a neat guy to talk to...very extreme but very helpful and knowledgeable.

[Steve McKay]

Were learning a lot today.But where's my worms.

[twisted]

Ninong,
