Banana worms are smallest, then Walter worms, while microworms are largest. All three are best suited to fish which are under 5 cm long and especially for fry. This guide about how to cultivate microworms also works for the other cultures.

How are you looking for the worms? What is the consistency of the mix? How cold does the place where you keep them get?
Right now, I am using Tesco's Scottish porridge oats (although I usually use Tesco's Value porridge oats), no yeast (usually whichever one is open) and cold tap water (or skin temperature when I use yeast). I keep them in Carte d'Or ice cream tubs (with about 6 holes in the lid) or in food boxes of the same size, the cultures are usually around 1-2 cm deep as I don't use all *that* many worms.

Shameless bump, just restarted my cultures, any takers before I throw away the old ones?

hi i am looking for micro worms but i live in the US so how much would it be, and would you send culture starter or an established culture?

 

[KittyKat]

Sorry, I will not post to US for two reasons: the culture is unlikely to survive the journey and unlikely to survive customs.

If anyone is up for helping me with an experiment: I'm trying to figure out how to ship larger starter cultures, so want to try things like tupperware tubs, fuller bags, etc. For anyone volunteering for this, I will charge only P&P costs and nothing for the culture.
