I'd avoid raising bloodworms unless you can guarantee they're to remain in a completely sealed culturing vessel. Bloodworms are larvae of the midge fly. It would be unnerving having mosquito looking midge flies loose all over the place.

This post makes me extremely happy

Because it let to this

Really ought to think before posting. With nearly 100 tanks to feed, growing enough bloodworms while maintaining a rotational crop would mean having to bear upwards of a 100,000 adult flies buzzing around the fish room. Even if they are non-biting, having swarms of these flys buzzing in your ears, flying into your eyes, and flying into every inhaled breath would render a person insane.

in no way am I saying you should rear 100k bloodworms as a staple. im not that stupid. im just saying they shouldn't be a problem if they do get out as fish will usually eat the eggs/larvae before they become the midge. plus it could be a little snack.

What do you base these statement on? Have you ever bred bloodworms? Do you have any real world experience with a small scale fish breeding facility? Have you ever seen a midge fly?

Somebody like oddball corrects a statement you make, and rather than accept and learn from it you backpeddal and pull a "Well what I meant was..." it seems to be a common theme in your posts.

I never said that you should breed 100k bloodworms and create a swarm...

by the way, yes I have bred bloodworms but not maintained hatcheries or small breeding scale business operations. if the tanks have a bare bottom base( like most hatcheries/ breeding operations do) then they are extremely easy to spot, and eggs are very easy to get at.
