- Fish of all sizes will devour these highly nutritious white worms (Enchytraeus albidus) with excitement. They are a great live food for conditioning for breeding and easy to culture yourself at home. White worms are not only great for fish but aquatic amphibians as well. If you want to learn more about live fish food or would like to purchase a white worm starter culture, check out our website.

Thank you! Those are some AMAZING swordtails
Ordered mine today! Thank you for this video, I look forward to trying this. Have plenty of tanks that will enjoy this- but most importantly right now trying to find something my ADF tadpoles can eat! Video was awesome and so informative in a simple way.
Bought a culture from him and I gotta say. GREAT shipping and excellent cultures.
Thank you so much for the support! 😁😁😁
@@phillipsfishworks just stating my experience 😁
Bought a culture of micro worms yesterday ilike the packaging of all bag of bugs
Whats the best way to feed my micro worms
Do shrimps eat micro worms
Ive been doing the Ramsey method for white worms. They grow pretty good but when it's time to harvest them its a royal pain. After watching this I switched to your method. I'm no longer using bread. Hope it works and is easier to harvest because I'm about to give up.
Thanks for making the video 👍
Nice video on how you feed and harvest them. I have a culture on the way so looking forward to it. Inglorious bettas has a good video on how to swirl the water and worms to seperate out the various sizes of worms.
Awesome video. I love those swordtails. What is the name of that variety?
Excellent video! Thanks for doing this!! Can u store the bins in a regular refrigerator?? I know people have been using wine refrigerators with a set temperature.
You're most welcome... I have not done my own experimentation with keeping them in the refrigerator but from what I understand it is too cold for reproduction. I've heard of storing them in the refrigerator to keep them dormant for a while... I have quite a few cultures in a pop or wine cooler that set around 56°F in the fish room. I have a bunch more in a back room that stays pretty cool for now. As it's gotten warmer outside their temperature has gone up to around 70°F which is warmer than I'd like. That temperature won't kill them or anything but may slow their reproduction. It would definitely be worth experimenting with temperatures and observing reproduction... They usually do fine on a basement floor or somewhere cooler like that. If you're serious about producing high numbers to feed lots of fish then getting some kind of wine cooler is advisable. I'm in the process of turning an old freezer into a worm cooler with an external temperature controller. Thanks for watching!
Is the oatmeal mixed in dry or pre-cooked & cooled?
Do you have to mist the worms? Great video to watch.
Thanks! no you do not mist the worm cultures. The soil is damp when it goes in originally. Usually the problem over time is water accumulating in the culture from feeding. They don't tend to dry out. Thanks for the comment! 😁😁😁
Awesome!
they are enchytraediae, right?
Yes!
Thanks for watching 👀
How do you get your yogurt so thick
From what I understand, (think I understand) these worms would also be small enough and safe to feed nano fish? Specifically clown killi's and pygmy corys? Thanks
Yes, some of the adult worms can get big but small fish typically devour them. Thanks for watching!
@@phillipsfishworks thanks for answering my question
Sorry to be asking another question. So I got my starter culture from you like 3 weeks ago but I’m having trouble with the white worms coming to the surface to eat. The yogurt never gets eaten n fuzzy mold starts to grow then. Is this normal with a “new” culture? Or am I doing something wrong?
Very common for the food to mold in new cultures. There are not enough worms yet to cover and eat the food before it molds. Any idea about what temp they are at?
@@phillipsfishworks Temperature is always set at 54. Only like a few will come up to eat but a majority of them stay in the soil. Also the yogurt gets hard after a day or so….should I water down the yogurt when I first add it? As always….”thank you” for always answering back! On a side note… my scud culture from you is thriving n doing very well. 👍🤡👍
Quick question…can it just be “regular” yogurt with live active cultures?? And the oatmeal…is it just regular oats or just the oatmeal that u buy that u add water to it?? I got my order from u a few days ago!! As always…thank you!! 👍🤡👍
Thank you so much for your support! Regular yogurt works great... I like to use the minute oats because it absorbs the Yogurt and water a little faster. Either kind will work great, though. I also like to add a little fish food to it sometimes. If I'm out of yogurt, I will use oatmeal and fish food with water. Thanks again
So what is that that you are feeding?
