anyone out there doing a worm culture? i am half ass attempting to do a red worm culture and am looking for tips.

You might try checking with Gelf.

If you want fry sized food, check AKA.org for info about culturing all kinds of different live foods....

...oh yeah, and check out E-bay for people selling starter cultures...I found a few decent deals. Haven't done it yet but probably will as I progress in to more difficult killifish...

thanks Dorothy i ahve been in contact with Gelf and he's been helpful.:)

thanks for the link Seedy i'll check them out. i am interested in the red worms because they are bigger (no fry as of yet) and i already have a crap load of them in the backyard.:D

just a little update. the worms are doing great in a 4 gallon planter i set up for them. i feed them rotten fruits and veggies, and they seem to be multiplying at a fast rate. i have smaller ones i can feed to the cory cats and julies. the bigger ones go to the other cichlids and they love them.

HAHA, i just saw this thread. the only thing i do for worms is i have a small leak in the plastic liner for my pond on the waterfall section, and, If i want to feed any of them to my fish, i just lift up on the section and grab a few, there are thousands of them growing nicely.

The hole will let out an approximate ten gallons a week, but, in turn, i get free food for all my pond fish. My 'gold' fish seem to love it. even my Blue Gill seems to love it.

cool FBG, gotta love the free food source eh? LOL
