Trying white worms

[GaryE]

Today, one of the dishes was coated on the inside with worms. That was how I fed 6 tanks. But beware - it's hard to get glass petrie dishes and plastic never appealed to my worm friends. You're better with a piece of glass in that case.

And the glass must be wet.

I too have never been a worm, though I'm sure my carbon has at some point. I wanted to make an earthy joke about acting the part and "casting", but a Dad joke that bad was too much even for me.

Amazon has them - 5 for $20. I just don't understand why the worms climb onto the upsidown wet glass but i will try it. My discus would like live worms rather than freeze dried black worms.

I was the 1 who said just pick up a clod of whiteworm surface bedding & put in a (dechlorinated) 3inch? dish of water. Stir a bit & remove either the bedding or clump of worms. I used my fingers. Maybe it was easier in cool basement temps? I couldn't grow them here without a basement at ~mid 50F-low 60F. Nowhere in my CA house is that cool & consistent. I only tried it 1 time here, a big fail, too hot.

Several of my fish 2+ inch liked whiteworms but I started them for discus juveniles.
