Ooh. You give the worms a little bath prior to dusting? I might have to try that to see if it's works better for me, I have two little round container that I got back when I bought two Marimos from PetCo (they also use the same one to hold betta fish) and I use that to hold my worms temporarily when I transition from the fridge to feed. Since they're naturally slimey they worm around in their own fluids and remove the dusting if I don't feed them immediately (which I can't, Keropi prefers them cut into halves rather than a whole one haha, I've watched him struggle to eat a fat small one before.)


And yess.

The substrate is about 2-4" high in a 10gal tank but he seems to enjoy it. I may end up removing the tree in the left corner as he gets bigger to provide for a little more room, might opt for a few more plants to provide shade on the left.
