This is a 1 oz STARTER CULTURE  of live Grindal Worms, perfect for feeding your tropical fish. Lovingly grown in MN, this high-quality fish and salamander food is suitable for a variety of fish, including Betta, Killifish, Guppies, and Mollies. The worms are sustainably raised on bread, scrap vegetables, and fish flakes in the Midwestern United States. They come in a 1 oz container, packaged safely with a bit of food to sustain them during travel. Juvenile axolotls, newts, salamanders and any other live-food-eating creatures love these!


The photos here are of the original colony that I will select your worms from. My colony is healthy and thriving! I feed my grindal worms, fresh bread, vegetables, and a variety of foods to ensure they are vitamin-packed for your fish.


YOU WILL RECEIVE A 1-2 OZ DELI CUP OF WORMS IN THE STARTER SUBSTRATE - NOT MY ENTIRE COLONY AS IN PHOTOS. Recent buyers have been confused about what a "Starter Culture" is. It is not my entire colony, but a 1-2 oz healthy, thriving portion of my colony. This is by weight: 1 to 2 oz is measured on a scale.


Grindal worms are rich in protein and essential nutrients for healthy fish growth. These worms are suitable for all water types and come in an easy-to-use deli cup, ready for placement in a larger container to start your own colony. Whether you're a seasoned fish owner or new to the hobby, this live food is a must-have for your aquatic pets.
