Microworms are a live fish food that many aquarists use to feed their fish.
They are especially good for fry (fish babies) as they help to fatten them up,
they are also great for small adult fish.
Hi, You are buying a microworms starter culture, using it you can very easy grow your own live fish food. It's ideal alternative to other fish foods for fry.
Micro Worms are extremely prolific and easy to grow at home.
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.
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.
More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panagrellus_redivivus or google microworms, as well watch Youtube.

Worms Sink. Microworms 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 Microworms:
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:
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.
After about 10-14 days the culture will start to smell vinegary. At this point you should add a little oatmeal this time dry, sprinkle it over the culture to keep them going for a couple more weeks and remove some smell. Before you add the new oatmeal however, you should start up a new culture so that when the old culture dies off, you will have a new one going. By continually doing this you can always have live foods available for newborn fry. Overall these are an easy to culture live food for newborn fry.
Note: Not all sellers are the same, saving 0.50p you get lower quality product. Low content worms in culture and 3-4 less in weigth package, less than one table spoon of microworms culture. So instead growing your culture within 48 hours, you can achieve this only after 2-3 weeks or never :)
