Hi,
You are buying micro 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.
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.
For
more information: google micro worms, as well watch Youtube.

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.
Delivered FIRST CLASS straight to your door.
Professionally sealed to ensure they do not leak, and neatly packaged to fit through your letterbox.
