You dont wanna go feeding a lot of whiteworm or grindalworm as they are very fatty foods so fitting them into your feeding regime would be better rather than relying on these soley.

Hi wullie187

Microworms are good food for fry, but they do outgrow it. They are tiny nematodes that you cultivate on batch of cooked oatmeal. Once you get one started, you can keep it going for a long time.

Here's a link with more information:

Microworms, which are really nematodes, are far too small for most adult fish. This picture shows tens of thousands of them including a few thousand crawling up the side of the container. They make great fry food for small egg layers though.
