When I first found my starling (rescued him from the neighbor's cat), he had gape worm (worms in his trachea, that caused him to cough). My vet cleared up the gape worm and the feather lice with Ivermectin. Earthworms are listed as an intermediate host for gape worm, so I wouldn't feed earthworms to my starling. I have fed him mealworms and crickets from a pet shop, and also garden spiders from a yard that I know isn't sprayed with any pesticides.

Less cultivation encourages beneficial insects (beetle and spider predators) as well as allowing the build up a larger earthworm population and biomass. Shallower cultivation/ direct drilling keeps trash on the soil surface which helps to stabilise soils and also builds soil health and structure which can reduce the risk of soil erosion if done correctly.

Insects have widely varying means of reproduction, which depends mainly on temperature and humidity. The German cockroach has a reproduction cycle from egg to adult lasting six weeks to several months. Many fly species can breed a new generation in as little as two weeks, and under favourable conditions one female can produce several hundred offspring in a domestic environment.

You seem to have everything in order but do not mention the age of the above. Also I would recommend (personally) to use all kalk only...for make up water It seems strange to me that the snails are dying. IME some snails can be fairly delicate however over a reasonably short period of time 1 year + they should begin to reproduce in your tank. Then you end up with a much hardier snail.Typically the I have your book and have been changing water one week then the next. See similar questions...

For more details, see the novels The Doom Brigade and Draconian Measures. See similar questions...

The spawning streams on the Wisconsin shoreline of Lake Michigan are not conducive to natural reproduction of trout and salmon because the summer water temperatures are too high for survival of trout fingerlings and heavy loads of sediment smother eggs incubating in the stream bed. For additional information on Wisconsin fishing, (e.g., maps, fish consumption advisories), please see our list of Frequently Asked Questions. See similar questions...
