Fish fry food - Banana Worm Starter Culture


  Hi, You are buying banana worms starter culture to grow your own live fish food.

Actually, these little “worms” aren’t really worms at all, they are the nematodes.

Feeding fry live food instead of powdered flake food or similar increases the survival rate for most species and will 
also aid rapid growth and development. Live food is less likely to foul the water, since live creatures will stay 
alive until consumed instead of starting to decompose.
 

B

anana Worms are the smallest of the 'micro' worm cultures, half the size of  the Micro Worms. They ideal alternative to newly hatched brine shrimp.
Since they are smaller than newly hatched brine shrimp or microworms, they are ideal for even the smallest fry. Small fry can be given banana worms as their first food. Banana Worms are the perfect live food for newly hatched betta fry.
 
Baby Brine Shrimp are such a hassle (getting the water/salt correct, separating the shell from BBS, washing and rinsing BBS because some fry are intolerant to salt, and finally the expense of BBS production in general).  Add to this the fact that the fry can take the Banana Worm even if they are too small for BBS.
If it Moves, Bite it. Baby fishes operate on instinct. Their instincts tell them to “taste” anything smaller than them that moves.
Picky Eaters. Since commercial foods don’t wiggle, many of the smallest egglayer baby fishes just ignore them.  These would include:
Bettas and Gouramis,
Angelfishes,
Barbs and Danios, Tetras.

Worms Sink.  Banana worms wiggle like crazy, but they can’t swim.  They fall to the bottom fairly rapidly.  This means you should keep your fry in a tank devoid of gravel, so the worms don’t disappear into the muck on the bottom. Their sinking tendency makes them an ideal food for baby corydoras.  Baby corys can find them easier in bare tanks.

Easy steps
Setting Up Your Home Culture:
  • For your culture you will need a clear plastic tub with lid, oats, water, a mixing bowl & a starter culture of  Banana worms:
      
  • Measure out your oats to give a 1cm layer in the base of your plastic tub:
     
  • Mix your oats with boiling water until of a thick sticky consistency. If you make your mix too dry your culture will die off, if you make it too wet your culture will smell:
     
  • Spread your porridge over the base of your plastic tub and leave to cool:
     
  • Once cool your porridge should have a rubbery feel and you should be able to touch it without it sticking to you fingers. Now spread your starter culture over the centre of your porridge:
     
  • Make a few pin holes in the centre of the lid and clip onto the tub, place the culture at room temperature:
     
  • Within 48 hours you should see your worms multiplying and they will start to climb the sides of your tub. 
Harvesting:

The easiest way to harvest worms is to wipe them off the sides with your finger. Or use a tiny rubber spatula, if you’re a weenie. Then just feed them to your fry.  Rinse your finger in the fry tank. Or rinse them into a container of water and feed them out with an eyedropper.
