Love your video. I've been wanting to try culturing white worms for a long time but didn't know how to start. Now I can't wait to start. I saw that you fed them through a syringe in some white solution. Can you show that portion of your video, the harvesting and feeding in that solution please?
Good instructional video. Many channels have done how-to videos on raising live foods, but something you rarely see is a video about how they live in nature. I would like to see such a video, and I think this is the perfect channel to explore such a topic. Just my thoughts... great content!
I liked this video, but I have some questions please - for OP, or another person reading this message: - Is tap water, with conditioner, OK when mixing soil up for new culture (3.59) ? - How do I collect and separate the worms from the soil? You use a gauze pad (8.30). What is that pad made of... would a cotton pad work? You seem to have a syringe full of them (15.15). Do you mix the worms with water then suck them up somehow? - What if I over feed my fishes? Will the worms live a day or two (or three?) in the fish tank? Many thanks in advance.
Yes, they will eat many things. They love plain greek yogurt, rotting veggie scraps, fish food... probably moistened plain breakfast cereals. Hope this helps
A fridge won't kill them but from what I understand they go kind of dormant and don't reproduce. I have never personally tried it... I have had customers tell me they have had success in the 60s and low 70s.
These cultural you have is it Enchytraeus albidus white worm species or Enchytraeus buchholzi Grindal worm species? I don’t know much and I tend to buy the wrong culture.. thank you..
I purchased them as Enchytraeus albidus white worm from a fish show long ago. They culture best at lower temps... 55-60ish is ideal would be worth experimenting with at higher temps. A basement floor is usually adequate. I use a wine cooler and freezer that's been converted into a worm cooler to culture mine. Good luck and thanks for watching 😁
The refrigerator is too cold. It doesn't kill them but they don't really reproduce well. Typically a basement floor is great. I have also had several customers have success without being at the optimal cold temperature... I do sell them on my website.

Thanks you very much. I appreciate you watching. That's also a great idea to implement in the future.

Ha, I found most of my questions answered in your other video "Feeding and Harvesting White Worms". Thanks again.
Yes, Hope that helped. Email me if you have more questions I don't always get back to these right away! Thanks!
Great video! Are there other options for food for the worms other than oatmeal? Thanks!
Yes, they will eat many things. They love plain greek yogurt, rotting veggie scraps, fish food... probably moistened plain breakfast cereals. Hope this helps
How I can. Order from you
Give us one like this on the micro worms. I always feel like I’m just putting yuck in tank. And need reminders on how to keep them fresh and multiply
Can I buy a white worm culture
Are these the thinner longer tropical white worms (room temp), or are they they shorter fatter white worms (50F) ?
Should I try coir (coco peat) ?
It might be worth experimenting with.
I have not tried it myself but have heard it's not as good as soil. Good luck!
What is the lowest temp they can handle? Is a fridge too cold?

Do you also do blackworms
No, I do not. 😁😁😁
Can we start doing it newly without the starter culture?
Are these pin worms, like the parasite?
Can you put in refrigerator? How do you know if Parasites or harmful things. I see that you mentioned that you sell them also.

@phillipsfishworks , I live in Florida, and my entire 1 story is always at 78 degrees
How to make my own white wormsl cultures? I am from EU!
Can we do it without the starter culture?
Non organic soil could have chemical fertilizers that may be harmful to shrimp.
I thought you would put them in your aquarium and let them dig in the substrate...
You would do that with black worms. White worms will drown in water
