Titolo: [ALIMENTAZIONE] Allevare Cibo Vivo

Io da buon fanatico del cibo vivo però vorrei dire comunicare al
gruppo alcune info a mio avviso utili che ho trovato su alcuni siti
italiani ed inglesi... se però do gli indirizzi mi accusate di fare
pubblicità....
sigh... compromesso, io do qui alcune notizie essenziali, se vi
interessa mi contattate in privato e approfondiamo (a me non viene in
tasca nulla).
Nel sito che ho in mente si parla di allevamento casalingo di cibo
vivo (quindi economico e pulito) di seguito riporto la descrizione
delle specie allevabili con pro e contro.
Tutti questi animali sono disponibili nelle nostre campagne e fossi,
ma prendendole in "natura" si corre il rischio di introdurre patogeni
e inquinanti, la cosa miglire, A MIO AVVISO, è quella di avere una
cultura pura da un amico o da qualcuno e di allevarsela in casa.

Live foods are an important part of any tropical freshwater and marine
fishes diet and for many reptiles, amphibians and insects a necessity.
If you intend to breed or keep fish in captivity then you should
consider feeding live foods. Nearly all fish and reptiles live soley
on live foods in their natural environment, whether it be worms,
insects, other fish or live plants. The correct use of live foods can
increase life span, promote breeding and bring out the natural colour
of your fish. Most live foods are easy to culture and far cheaper than
expensive dried and frozen foods. Many experienced fish keepers and
breeders swear by live foods as they can make all the difference when
it comes to getting that reluctant
to spawn fish into breeding condition.
The purpose of this web site is to hopefully provide you with all the
information you need to culture live foods for your creatures. We
supply starter cultures and all the neccesary equipment you will need
to raise healthy live foods. We also sell ready to use cultures and
kits.
We guarantee that all living cultures we supply will arrive
alive or we will replace them free of charge.
All cultures are sure to be packed full of what ever living 
creature you have ordered.
To find out more about live foods read below. 
WHITE WORMS
White worms are in my opinion one of the best all round live foods
availible and fairly easy to culture.They are a slender worm that can
grow up to an inch in length. White worms are very nutritious and are
ideal for helping to bring fish into spawning condition and putting
fast growth on juviniles. They are suitable for most aquarium fish but
may be a little too large for neon sized fish.
GRINDAL WORMS
Grindal worms are very similar to white worms but are much smaller and
breed at a faster rate. They prefer higher temperatures to white
worms, thriving at around 75-80°f. Grindal worms make a good all round
food for all tropical fish including juviniles and larger fry. Adult
fish will readily except these as part of their diet.
MICRO WORMS
Micro worms are the easiest of all live foods to culture. They are
very small, about 1-2mm in length. They are ideal for feeding to fry
of most fish and make a good alternative to other more expensive fry
feeds.
VINEGAR EELS
Vinegar eels are again a very small live food cultured in vinegar
solutions. They are best fed to newly hatched fry. They can stay alive
in water for long periods of time allowing fry to get a good feed and
preventing the tank from getting polluted by uneaten foods. Vinegar
eels require very little maintenance making them an ideal first live
food
RED EARTH WORMS
Red earth worms are a very wriggly type of worm often called the red
wriggler. They are very nutritious and are suitable for larger fish as
well as other exotic creatures such as frogs, toads and salamanders.
FLIGHTLESS FRUIT FLIES
Fruit flies are extremely easy to culture and make perfect food for
surface feeding fish, frogs, toads, hatchling spiders, insects and
other various reptiles.Fish tend to get very excited when some of
these are dropped on to the surface of the water, where they will
wriggle until they get eaten. Fruit flies go through several stages of
growth and when in the maggot stage they can be fed to larger
fish.There are many strains of fruit fly availible some are smaller
than others but the best strains for live food purposes are any of the
flightless varieties. A truly natural food for many fish.
DAPHNIA
There are several spieces of daphnia, they are one of the most popular
live foods available. Daphnia can be easily cultured in large numbers
in a relatively small space. The largest speices of daphnia can grow
up to a 1/5 of an inch in diameter. Daphnia are filter feeders and be
very benificial in ponds and aquariums as they help to clear green
water. They have to added avantage of being able to stay alive in the
aquarium until they are eaten.
MOINA
Moina are closley related to daphnia but much smaller, it is possible
to culture moina all year round in small containers with relative ease
and like daphnia they have the advantage of being able to stay alive
in your aquarium until they are eaten.
TUBIFEX WORMS
Tubifex worms have been used as food by aquarists for over 100
years. They are not the easiest of live foods to culture but is
possible to culture them in small numbers. They are a small thread
like aquatic worm that grow to about an inch in length. It is said
that when fed to fish in the correct manner they can increase the size
of adult fish, prolong fertile periods of fish and even increase the
number and size of young in a brood.
RAMHORN SNAILS
Snails are benificial in daphnia, moina and tubifex cultures, very
hardy little critters that help to keep aquatic cultures clean. Highly
recommended if you intend to keep any of the daphnia speices.
 

 pubblicità....
Visto che c'eri potevi tradurlo ;-)
La pubblicita' non e' gradita solo per i siti commerciali, per quelli di
informazione non c'e' nessun problema :-)

 Nel sito che ho in mente si parla di allevamento casalingo di cibo
intendi fare un sito dedicato a questo oppure significa che quello che
riporti di seguito e` tratto da un sito?
Perche` sarebbe una cosa molto interessante se facessi un trattato
sul cibo vivo da mettere sul sito del NG. Penso possa interessare a
molti. E potresti anche indicare tutti i vari siti (non commerciali)
dai quali hai tratto le informazioni.

Ciao
Da due anni ho un mini-allevamento di lombrichi, una cosa facile e 
gradita ai pesci, anche perchè si trovano saporiti vermi in tutte le 
dimensioni, adatti a varie specie, fornisce una discreta quantità di 
cibo vivo da prelevare ogni 7 - 10 giorni.  Pur essendo un tipo di 
alimento da non utilizzare con eccessiva frequenza, è sicuramente utile, 
specie per grossi ciclidi. Se sei interessato ti invio i dati relativi.
A presto proverò con gli enchitrei.

Perche' hai deciso di metterli a dieta? :-))

Perche` tu mangi scatolette di mangime per pesci? :-DDD
Io non vedo di arrivare a casa e spararmi una bella scatoletta di ....
carne in scatola (giusto per non citare marche), oddio avrei anche un
ottimo pasticcio di ragu` ed una costata ma preferisco la carne in scatola.
