I've never had a problem with waxworms in aquatic setups. They wiggle for a few minutes at least. Just be careful not to feed primarily waxworms, as they're not the most nutritious.

yea, i just want them to have a little reserve so if one gets sick or something they dont die in a week. if the smaller one misses a feeding she gets so thin of i feel sorry.
