I herd that micro worms grow alot with alot of starchy food.

Well micros eat of the oatmeal or the brerad so its not much food..

 

[GuppyDude]

iv done quite a bit of research on mw's and i just got a culture from joker. iv heard that cooked oatmeal is the best and thats what im useing. iv had the culture for 2 days and they are alredy climbing the sides of their bucket. i added yeast on top and also a little bit of flour which i was told on another site worked good to help soak up the extra moisture from the oatmeal and the worms love it.

Do you think you could add a How-to-Culture of adult brine shrimp, i get the hatchery...but how do you keep the adults alive?

 

[GuppyDude]

just buy the adult brine shrimp frozen, its to big of a hassle to even try raiseing those things, the only thing they are good for is feeding to baby fish when they are young.

Raven and I don't feed our bettas frozen or freeze dried foods. Raven just keep buying the adults from the LFS, look online for a hatchery plan you're a smart girl go figure it out.

 

[fourplayfishy]

whats the difference between black worms and blood worms or is there one?

 

[SRC]

My fish refuse to eat the frozen BloodWorms and I was told the freeze-dried ones weren't very good for them.

Where can you buy live bloodworms? I saw some at the tackle shop, but they came in 2 sizes..large and medium.

How would you keep them alive, a tank with air?

 

[GuppyDude]

yes black worms and blood worms are 2 differant kinds of worms, dont know their differances they are just worms.

 

[Dragonscales]

blackworms are actual worms, blood worms are a fly larvae and will eventually hatch into flies.

Oh awesome, someone finaly put up a BBS culture, too bad it was after i did my own research. I'm sure Raven will thank you also. Anyway, awesome, great reference page.

Out of interest if you culture your own do you freeze them?
And if anyone wants me to post a method of culturing waxworms I'd be happy to. PM me if you want me to post that, I won't remember otherwise.

Just a heads up on grindal cultures ,white worms & spring tails (all cultured the same as grindals). I've been feeding mine softened rabbit food for a little over a month now and it seems that they reproduce three times faster than usual. So you guys might want to try that
No promises of the same results. I have an -oh so picky bunny- and I use top of the line rabbit pellets so maybe that's why I've seen such an incredible difference.

Ewie I think my little guy will just have to go wormless. )

Great info though!
