i have a culture of microworm (i didn't get them off saboy though), very good fry food after each feeding my culture teems with new baby worms.

just to worn people out there they do smell, you can prevent this i think by starting a new culture? i'm not to sure.

saboy's offer is great that's alot for only £2

They do smell sick.gif I've found that using organic oats mixed in water smells less and produces more worms yes.gif I didn't buy the organic oats for the worms, I got them for me, but I didn't like them, but they do work. I keep each culture running for 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer. When the porridge gets watery, either bin it, or put some dried bread in (and leave it in), it soaks up the liquid and keeps it going for another week or 2 wink.gif

I was told to use readybrek, but found that it smells bad and quickly also porridge mixed with milk goes off really quickly.

I also tried a culture in fish food. I got some out of date flakes and granules and mixed them in water and added worms, the fish loved the worms from this (which were red in colour) but they REALLY stink, so they can't have them anymore sick.gif

Another tip, once you have them growing, start another culture so you always have 2 running, when the 1st one smells too bad, bin it and create a new culture from your 2nd one, etc.

If you have fry or small fish, get some they love them.
