Wow...I'm impressed by your dedication in culturing safe blackworms! I hope you get the data you need!

I hope so, seedy. Then the IBC members going to thank me for sure. :) I might post there and see what is their reaction. LOL :gay:

Great work, really impressed.

Thanks, I hope this will work for everyone. I just posted in IBC forum. See what the big dogs gonna said. LOL :smokein: opps. i don't smoke! :lol: :lol:

LOL! Well right now I'm waiting for my sister to go buy some yogurts because I have no other containers. I will definitely try it for sure when my parents aren't home (they'll probably freak out to see yellow stuff in the pot). Cheers Yeevia for your info :drunk:

wow good idea :) idian almond leaves? where do you get them?? would you sell me some yeevia??

I'll be testing this out for you when I buy some blackworms. I have IAL coming in the mail from Singapore!

Hahahaha :lol: :lol: :lol: Before your mom or your dad asking, just said "it is me and it is too late to go to the toilet. LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

They are at aquabid under breeding section. They sales like 4.99 for 20 leaves? Mine is running low soon. My cousin is getting some from malaysia but they will be here in middle of august.

oh ok

OK members. I have been feeding my blackworm using this method for a while now. I would like to tells you all how they going. Still working... :) No betta dead on this blackworms yet. I soak in for 12 to 24 hours. :) I do twices in the same IAL solution container. :)
I am very very happy about this. OK. I think I be order blackworm again so I will have stock next week. :) I ordered from junglepit.com because the shipment express only 2.99 and it is cheap. :)

Thanks for the link, I might order a pound. How long are the worms? How many do I feed each betta?

Also since it is live food, how do I keep them alive?

A lb is a lot. LOL Well, since you asking, I would like to tells you how I did mine. I am using three plastic containers, Tupperware with lid. LOL Split three portion since there are too much.
Usually you need to wash them everyday. Have to used aged water. Pour the water in and then pour it out. I do this a few times like 5 times so I can see the water is cleaner. Then add some of the aged water just enough to soak them. Put them in the refrigerator.
Some people feed them with fish food. Just a little bid. :) I never culture them. :)

Thanks!

I don't see anything under a pound. Or is there smaller? I hope so :)

One lb is the smallest. :)

1 lb of worms = :gross:. Here's what I do: Put the culture in a container with enough surface area so they can move around freely. Pour spring water (or drink-able water) just enough to cover the worms. I've heard you can feed the worms fish food or brown paper bag because worms consume decomposed materials.
My steps are as followed:
1) Put brown paper bag just enough to cover most of the container's bottom
2) Put worms in
3) Add water about a cm or depending on how big your culture is
4) In the fridge it goes
