I don't use liquifry as it pollutes the water quick and promotes bad bacteria on the bottom of the tank. Microworms live for at least 24hours in the tank so zero pollution, they sink if you don't have to much flow and the fry absolutly love them. I feed them solely microworms from day 4 up till 8weeks then try chopped up bloodworm, flakes and even still microworms till they go to a lfs at 12 weeks. 
pretty quick with this yeast) and add to luke warm water mix to a paste,so that it just rolls of the spoon. Let the mix stand for 15min then check it hasn't gone to solid, add more water to get it back to just rolling off the spoon. If the mix is too runeeee it'll go off fast. 
Now spoon mix into container be careful not to slop up the sides. Seed with worms from an existing culture, I scrap a few from the sides so as not to contaminate the new mix with old mix. 
Stir the new worms in, I stir mine daily thereafter so the food comes to the surface and keeps the mix fresher smelling. The mix shouldn't stink though, you should get a yeast smell, you'll see after a week or two the mix goes dark yellow and begins to smell this is the time to chuck away.Now place the culture somewhere warm, I put mine on top of a tank lid that has lights to keep them warm. Warning though the culture reproduces faster with warmth so they need more feeding and the mix goes off quicker. I add more Ready brek mix same as above every third day to kkep the culture going. And every fifth i start a new culture so the new one is ready when the old gets washed out. 
Don't forget to wash your hands after. 
Don't touch the mix otherwise you'll contaminate your tank. 
They are little scavengers
