Microworms Feeding Fry Guide

[5teady_2012]

Made a little video on how i feed my betta fry microworms, was wondering what you all thought of it and if you think its a good way to do it..

Lot of worms get in to the tank and i can see the fry eating them and hopefully be happy

Just one thing now, how do u feed the micro worms!!!

And quite long winded way to do it.

Simple way.

Get your self a box of Ready brek, and packet of brewing yeast.

When using hard, feed the worms with ready brek after each time you use it and remember to damp it down, once a week just add a pinch of yeast to the top.

A teaming mix will have micro worms climbing the side's of the tub it's in, this is already cleaned it's self for you, so using a small paint brush you can just lift them from the side and feed.


P.S. when not using you can leave the mix for 2 weeks (or longer if u risk it) without feeding as long it's kept damp. also it's good to make a new culture every 4-6 months to keep it at it's best.

Tried it that way and because of condensation in the tub, the sides get very milky like... the way i am doing it now seems better as the paper is clean and the worms crawl on to it staying clean as well..

When i dip the filter paper in the tank, i can see loads of worms coming off it and the fry eating them, thats how i feed them (it showed that in the video.)

It's dose clearly show that in the clip and well done, Just need to keep feeding the culture as it will go off and produce very little food, but still if it's just the betta tank you feeding it to then their be more than enough.

Ooops misread the feeding the part, i feed the microworms with a pinch of yeast and then stir it in (i hope thats right lol)

I add a bit of oats if the mix gets to wet, and spray water on if its to dry..
