Thanks to you, I did a variation on this successfully! I placed a slice of potato I had scored on one side in a container of compost I got from my garden pile. I punched a few holes in the lid, stored the container on the floor of my garage to prevent freezing and waited 3-4 weeks. When the potato started to decompose, I noticed the surface looked slimy. When I checked with a hand lens, I saw the micro worms. Next I scraped the worms off and placed them in some cooked oatmeal. Let them reproduce, then voila! Saved me $12 plus shipping!
I didn't expect this to work, but it did! I buried 5 potato haves partially hallowed out with hole down across my yard (Arkansas) and marked them with white flags, left them for about 6 days, then dumped them into a large jar with oatmeal, yeast, misted with spray bottle. I forgot about them for a couple weeks with a coffee filter lid, and checked expecting nothing, to see it FILLED with micro worms. :D So I'm going to split the mega culture into smaller containers and supplement my betta fry. I red too much microworms causes them not to develop correctly though.
yo thanks man you save my betta fry....i don't no where to find microworm starter but after seeing your video i can make my own.. great work Dude keep it up!!
These are not grindals. These will never get bigger than they are shown. Tiny wigglers. Great for fry, tetras and small fish. Grindals look like baby earthworms and are larger
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I never knew you could raise these. I have a Betta inside and goldfish outside. I was looking for live foods for them all and found your video. I can't wait to try.
It's a great way to find microworms in nature! but for culturing I prefer porridge only (without yeast) and in full light - I've been keeping them for half a year, very productive and easy.
very interesting, i'm just starting my first tropical tank and of course want to feed my fish the best diet possible. Do you just keep the culture in a tub? Inside or out?
theantinwofish: I'm very sorry for a terribly belated response, I didn't notice your question in time. I keep the culture in the garden (Wales, UK) and use the culturing method described here: www.tropicalfishforums.co.uk/index.php/topic,163402.0.html
This is (as far as I know) the original method for starting a microworm culture (make a hole in a potato and bury it in soil outdoors). It’s mentioned in aquarium books from the mid-20th century. Of course, your job is a lot easier if you can get a starter from someone who is already culturing microworms. But if you can’t, do this.
Really cool Video was helpful .. but a request could you show us how to prepare Delphinia the same way to create at home please it would be really useful if possible thank you :)
Interesting, but it will have to wait, it is already snowing here. :( I wonder if different climates and soil types have different microworms, or possibly none at all? does potting soil or peat moss contain microworms?
quinmallory: It is a good question. I thought a lot about that too. As far as I understand, fish parasites can only be brought from other aquariums or those natural rivers and ponds, which are inhabited by wild fish. Terrestrial things should be harmless.
hi, i tried this method. did every process. however when i put the container in a store room, then after 3 days, it has molds. is this failed? should i redo everything? where did i go wrong?
Can i change the oatmeals with bread slice? I see someone doing it with breads and milk,but i havent oatmeal and milk Dont ask me for buying it btw,im on a crysis now😭 Thanks
I tried it but instead of oatmeal I used bread and water and it’s been two days until a week all I see is a white fuzz or moldy thing on the bottom is that usual
No, you can't. Because the starter is very stinky and maybe can break down the water parameters... You need to culture it in culture media and then harvest the worm that crawl out from the culture media ... It safer I think ...
+Rockitty Lima as i said in the description. It will More effective while the soil is half wet after rainy day. Or you can trick it with water it every day.
Dude it's a verry good video very useful for my pet bettas specifically fry but I'll be a little judgemental here It's gor your own good It's just you grammar. Hope you improve I wish for no negative reply on this comment.
is it possible to keep the microworm culture in 1 container for a month ? like after the harvest you will put some yeast or oatmeal again on the same container. does the microworm culture grow? or its good for 1 harvest .
It's easy to start microworm.But it hard to keep it! I already made one but you need to do another process to the next week!(Until it look perfect and smell good!🤔)
Yang Rithysak I would recommend to make one culture first and when they start crawling up harvest them and put them in a another container with new mix of oatmeal .. then you have clean microworms...
No it will not work if it's ur neighbor's tree... If the microworms still grow, they will be eaten only by the neighboring tank fry... Not the fry from the tank where u feed them to...

Super demonstration
Very clear and simple even I can understand thank you sir, if you know any other type of culture please post in a video.
Your video was so great now I can make my own microworm culture
title: Microworm culture without starter
4:16: now add starter into each container
simple logic, he made his own starter that's what he meant on his video title.
R u dumb??
what a dumb
yo thanks man you save my betta fry....i don't no where to find microworm starter but after seeing your video i can make my own.. great work Dude keep it up!!

Is this also grindal worms?

Thank you! Thumbs up. Subscribed.
Great idea! Gonna use this to make food for my angelfish fry, thanks a lot
Hi~ how did it go? Did you try it?
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I never knew you could raise these. I have a Betta inside and goldfish outside. I was looking for live foods for them all and found your video. I can't wait to try.
heather vestal how can we be sure that they won’t carry parasites?

Thank you so much. I'm a begining Betta breeder and this was amazingly simple. To bad i didn't find it sooner
So it works?
your videos are so satisfying to watch
Instructions not clear, all my fishes turned into zombies.
what do you mean?
Cactus Lyrics he means they are all dead.
Your a funny
Nonayaaa
@@cactuslyrics9883 Its a meme.
Thank you so much for this! The fish shops near me don't sell live cultures so it's hard for me to find food for fry :)
+Luculencia you're welcome, that same, just like my chase. so i decide to experiment and try to make it by myself :D
After watching this video, I am not going to eat Quaker's Oat Meal. I am afraid I will be transformed into a microworm!
LoL😂
Lol
2:09 bruh I thought you placed it in a condom
I did too
Wtf
good idea 🤔 we should place sperm under ground, u may get microspermworms 〰️ .....
@@iwapele697 lol
@@iwapele697 😱
Nice one! Subscribed ! Btw what do you do when culture is finished? Do I need to do the same thing with the potato again or....?
You can use the harvest as new starter culture, no need do the potato again.
Awesome! I 'll definitely give it a try. Thanks a lot!
Did it work?
tnx it help me a lot in culturing micro worm
did it work??
thanks for telling us it smells gross. will look for an alternative :p
Awesome video.... i am going to prepare my own
Thejuttanzz did it work ?

Great thank you so much. I will try it 💪.
I've seen this comment in the list but no real answer, how do you know your not getting anything harmful to the fish?
quinmallory: It is a good question. I thought a lot about that too. As far as I understand, fish parasites can only be brought from other aquariums or those natural rivers and ponds, which are inhabited by wild fish. Terrestrial things should be harmless.
quinmallory if you feed too much microworm they wont grow ventral fins. Thats the problem on feeding m.worms on bettas.
@@Baitangina in earth outside you ll also will get tapeworms incl. eggs of them..and those will harm you and your fishes.Deadly to humans and fishes
so there is only microworm in the potato? would there be any other form of worms or bugs that may get in there as well?
no. the microworms might came from the soil.. he plant the potato back in the soil so that the microworms go to the potato and use it as a starter
Thanks for this
I only use water and slice breed, putting yeast will make the culture smelly ☺
thank you for sharing this.
Like it & do u take any soil from the middle of the pottato?
You can introduce parasites this way
Really?
@@AlexLopez-un8pt parasite fo human body?
Advan Eic what?
@@advaneic3824 I guess if you would handle and not wash your hands
Whats the oatmeal flavor?
Thank you very much. Im worried my betta fry grow so slow. Ill try this 👍☺
Kichōna San any update if this work?
daily water change will grow your fry a lot quicker,,,,, walter worm is better for your fry also as it is smaller,

Does it works with fries !!!
Wonderful video
love the tune !
Nicely done
you're awesome man!
What's the song? Do microworms grow up to be big worms?
No
Dude, you're so underrated.
Thank you so much for this great video
So do u have to use the outside soil or just some store bought soil?
He used outside soil
hi, i tried this method. did every process. however when i put the container in a store room, then after 3 days, it has molds. is this failed? should i redo everything? where did i go wrong?
VanGuarD 1989 same here :(
well done, new sub!
Can i change the oatmeals with bread slice? I see someone doing it with breads and milk,but i havent oatmeal and milk
Dont ask me for buying it btw,im on a crysis now😭
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
Like for those whose worked
Thank you THIS is simple I think this culture is very hard thanks sir
thank you buddy for doing it and sharing this video ;)
Good video, thanks
I tried it but instead of oatmeal I used bread and water and it’s been two days until a week all I see is a white fuzz or moldy thing on the bottom is that usual
excellent
i tried this and the potato got dry and hard😔😌😕😒😮🙁😢😭😭😢😤😥🙄
great video, thanks, i never even know that there were such foods for fish.
eres el mejor hermano muchas gracias bendiciones 😍😩
Love this technique never new about it now I don’t have to buy the stater no more

Can we use bread instead of oat meal???
Yes bro I did it with bread and it work ❤️❤️
Today my betta fish have nested eggs

Male betta fish is taking care of eggs should i feed male betta food or no today ???
Awesome! I got it.
But, any easy way to get daphnia starter?
Thx u. Help me i dont know were to get micro worm but u show thx its a great help
Super
the best tutorial MW
Can we feed the starter from potato to betta fry
No, you can't. Because the starter is very stinky and maybe can break down the water parameters... You need to culture it in culture media and then harvest the worm that crawl out from the culture media ... It safer I think ...
Followed exact same process not seen a single microworm instead all 4 glasses formed fungus with bad rotten smell
Thanks for sharing mate,what are the fish fry?
It's betta baby's
Well explain thanks for the video bro
Nice
Kahit saan lupa sa labas bahay pwede b e paano tulad sa akin andito ako sa canada?
I'm observe the potato! The ants going to under the soil and i think the ants eating potato! *its normal*
I tried this I left my potato there for 2 weeks when I dug it up it had no worms and it was still hard
+Rockitty Lima as i said in the description. It will More effective while the soil is half wet after rainy day. Or you can trick it with water it every day.
Rockitty Lima same as mime :-(
Bahangi bury them on wet place
Do you live in a cold or very dry climate? Maybe that's it.

is it possible to keep the microworm culture in 1 container for a month ? like after the harvest you will put some yeast or oatmeal again on the same container. does the microworm culture grow? or its good for 1 harvest .
Some say that some nematode are not safe for our fish? Is that true?
good video, fixn to go bury my potoato and get some yeast.
Thanks br✌️
It's easy to start microworm.But it hard to keep it!
I already made one but you need to do another process to the next week!(Until it look perfect and smell good!🤔)
+Yang Rithysak that's right because it's diy not made by commercial microworm starter.
Yang Rithysak I would recommend to make one culture first and when they start crawling up harvest them and put them in a another container with new mix of oatmeal .. then you have clean microworms...
+Glenn Gaming And Fish Keeping that's right. we must re culturing it to make clean microworm & make the smell better than first culture.
Indra Jaya mine smells like cake
Glenn Gaming And Fish Keeping haha lol
Good job
nice video=)
Instead of oats meal can I use bread or wheat flour ?? Tell me quick plzz
Yes
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for. Any chance you know how to start Grindal worms without a culture as well?
Grindal Worm is quite difficult because not every soil had that worm in it.
Thank You!
Desde colombia gracias aunque las letras en Inglés no entendi
After feeding how to keep micro worm
ur videos are excellent... are u from india??
How long can you keep the same culture in the same jar without doing anything? Which is the lowest and higher temperature?
Woah a plastic glass 😱
Baki yg telah kita guna blh pakai lg tak di kemudian hari?
Very very taqs bro njan kathirikkam ayirunnu
I havent get a tree in my garden my neighbour has but its on the other side about 3 feet away will it still work
No it will not work if it's ur neighbor's tree... If the microworms still grow, they will be eaten only by the neighboring tank fry... Not the fry from the tank where u feed them to...
NEW SUB nice video
