Microworms

[Fire_chair]

I tried this in the Betta section with no luck, so I'll try it here and hope for better results.
Does anybody have, or know where I can get, a microworm culture? I've got some babies coming soon and I'd like to have something live for them, and I don't feel like messing with brine shrimp.

Microworms are a lot of fun and sometimes someone has some locally. The HLA is a good place to ask around. If you get some you might spread them around a bit. The cultures crash. Usually they get invaded with flies or knats or just neglected. What goes around sometimes comes around.

Thanks, I never even thought of Aquabid.
Luckily it turns out that my original culture wasn't a dud after all, it just took way longer to get going than I thought it would. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get another one at the HLA auction.

If you got the first one going, you can start new ones from it
and bring a few to the auction.  I need a new start.

If they keep up this pace I might have enough to feed one fry in a couple months. Bunch of lazy slow-reproducing worms......

Sprinkle a little yeast on top of the culture, and drain off the liquid they produce.

I make my cultures with plain oatmeal and after it cools down I mix in some active yeast.

I'll do that, thanks.
