When I first saw one of your videos about using Crispy Rice cereal for the microworms, I tested it out and immediately switched from the oatmeal formula that I had used for many years. I can even keep the cultures inside the house now instead of my attic steps, lol. The difference to the olfactory senses is absolutely amazing and I have employed your method ever since. I recommend it to others constantly. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for another kool video brotha!.. hope all is well and thanks for great tip!... my Cory babies will love these.. p.s they are growing great and coloring up nicely !
@@DansFish Thanks Dan Funny thing is I'm currently watching your video on fruitfly and vinegar eels. So bizarre you message as I'm watching it. Its like you right here. Lol. Thx for information
Cebebrity Fish Chef! Micro worms are probably too small for most of my fish. However the Limias might enjoy them. I lost one of my male Perugiae. No symptoms, I just found him on the tank bottom a couple mornings ago. All others are still fine. I expect fry soon as a trio of the Nigrofasciata are very plump. I added some extra plants, both floating and potted. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video Dan!
Howdy Rick, The best way is to find another local hobbyist who has a culture an bum a starter off of them. Baring that: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xvinegar+eels.TRS0&_nkw=vinegar+eels&_sacat=0
Howdy John, Great question! I like the rice cereal because I don't have to cook it before using it. Anytime I notice the culture needs "texture maintenance", I can just throw in some more. I guess it is the convenience that I like most. Best, Dan
Howdy Aqua, For vinegar eels and micro worms, you want normal room temperature or fishroom temperature. If you are comfy, these two livefoods will be too. If your fish are comfy without heaters, these two livefoods will be good at those slightly higher temps as well. The worms which need to be kept in the fridge are a different species called white worms. Best, Dan
I probably shouldn’t be watching while I’m eating lunch. What do you do if this is your first batch and you don’t have older culture? Did I miss that part if you did say?
You are a great chef! Good info which I will be referring back to often.
Now I just need to buy an apron and a big white hat!

Glad the corys are doing well!
Excellent advice on culturing these live foods.
Do you have any video or knowledge on culturing grindal worms?
Crowntail, every time I try grindal worms, they get overrun with mites. Eventually, I just stopped trying.

So sorry to hear about the perugiae. I hope the remaining ones do well.
do we need light to cultivate microworm?
How to do harvest them tho?
If you don't have a culture now of vinegar eels how do you get started?

What have you found the benefit to be for rice crispies over oatmeal?
Great Video Dan !!!!

Can you feed vinegar eels or microworms to small Adult fish like neon, endler...? Thanks!
Absolutely...they love them.
What is the appropriate storage method for them? Like temp wise and I know some people keep them in fridges.

For vinegar eels and micro worms, you want normal room temperature or fishroom temperature. If you are comfy, these two livefoods will be too. If your fish are comfy without heaters, these two livefoods will be good at those slightly higher temps as well.

I ordered some micro worms I went by the direction but I never got any worms what's going on
How do I make my own banana wormsfromstrach
I probably shouldn’t be watching while I’m eating lunch. What do you do if this is your first batch and you don’t have older culture? Did I miss that part if you did say?
Same procedure for a first batch: 1 part vinegar with the "mother", 1 part water, a piece of apple (or pear!), and your starter culture.
those pears are pears you need to put in a stew.
im dutch we call it "stoofpeer"
Sounds delicious, manta! By the way, how would you describe the meaning of the dutch word "killi" or "killie"...I might be spelling that wrong!!!
