Hungry hungry white worm eating mandarin!!!

[afboundguy]

I've said it before and I'll say it again(well I'll steal it again from @Paul B lol ) white worms rule! So easy to culture and super nutritious. My mandarin goes berserk for them! Look at how fast she swam over to the corner. For the record the rest of my fish love them as well but if you have a hard to feed mandarin white worms are something you should defiantly try!!!

How do you start up a culture?

You're going to be disappointed lol I don't add too much lol

How do you start up a culture?

Get a culture from someone and you just need dirt, a container, bread, yogurt and yeast and a cool dark'ish place...

I have had no luck culturing these. Followed instructions but don't get many. Lot of mites but that is it. Can you LMK ur culturing methods. TY

Not trying to steal thread but recently I acquired a starter culture here on Boston Reef. I’ve found it pretty easy. I’ve had great success so far, but things do happen and cultures do crash. So this is how I culture mine.
1. organic dirt wet with RODI water. Moist but not soaked.
2. add worm culture
3. Wheat bread spread organic plain Greek yogurt on bread then add nutritional yeast over top.
4. Store in cool place. Reproduction takes 14 days I believe
5. Keep in cool place
I use throw away Tupperware containers with holes in top. I also use a piece of plexiglass over top of bread and push down so worms come to sides of container for easy access. Take a look at some recent cultures.

hope this helps

Exactly what he said is what I do. Only difference is I keep them in a 4 bottle wine cooler I got of facebook marketplace for $20 which greatly helps with the coolness and darkness...

You put the bread face down on yogurt side? I pretty much followed that. You get mites?

 

[afboundguy]

Yes bread with the yogurt face down. Knock on wood no mites. Not sure if the wine cooler helps keep things extra clean or not but it is sealed up pretty well...
