- Micro worms are my go-to food for fry as they are just so much easier to keep than baby brine shrimp and once the culture is established it keeps going for as long as you feed it, always being available for feeding to fry.
Do not use yeast in this culture is it can produce alcohol if it ferments with sugars from the bacteria - which will kill of your worms.
This little video is about how to culture them.
My favourite fishy stuff! (yes these are affiliate links :) )
Lights
Nicrew Classic LED - amzn.to/3fG3Uv6 - Traditional led light that's got a nice high output in a white/cool colour range. Makes plants look extra green.
Nicrew SKY - amzn.to/3Ktn45U - really nice light for natural looking tanks, also the one I use for filming.
Filters
Pat Mini - amzn.to/3fE1u0k - popular for a reason, just a superb little filter thats great for shrimp tanks and fish alike.
ASAP - amzn.to/3nBuytp - the old favourite and the one i return to most frequently.
Air Pump
AP-3 Kit : amzn.to/34UMA3q - Great little air pump, not a silent runner, but has been very reliable for me.
Tanks
Scaper 45 - amzn.to/3KBxG2H - a lovely high quality tank that comes with a super strong light, and a decent enough hang on back filter - perfect for newbies and scapers alike.
My filming stuff
Camera - Cannon 200D - amzn.to/354OLlc - nice camera, easy to use.
BigTripod - Manfrotto befree - amzn.to/3GLXDdj - pricey but super sturdy and can take being knocked over a lot by clumsy operators.
Lil' tripod - amzn.to/355WmQs - can't pronounce the name but it's been a good tripod for filming things on tables or when I have tanks on the floor.
I cultured microworms in instant mash, rolled oats and readybrek. Boiled water was used for all and were tried with yeast and without. By far the readybrek and yeats was the best. Massive numbers within a couple of days. I start a new culture every few weeks. Also, i just swipe them out with my finger with no problems to the fish.
Very nice informative vid, thanks!
Always do two cultures incase one stalls or gets moldy. I've been keeping microworms for a few years now
How do y'all feel about microworms vs vinegar eels?
Most excellent! I am going to try one with the lid totally closed. I have air holes in my container and I smell it now and again 😣
I've found them on eBay. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Have you tried using moss tree as your substrate? You only need to cover them in yogurt... Collect the moss (with the bark), place it in a small container, cover it with yogurt but not completely, place it under your window... After a while should be full of worms.
Utterly revolting 😂But thank you all the same
are microworms the same thing as white worms?
Microworms are much smaller. White worms normally need to be kept in a soil type substrate, in the dark at cool temperatures
