I have starter cultures of Micro Worms, Walter Worms, Vinegar Eels and Grindals that I am selling.
POSSIBLE COMING SOON....DAPHNIA!!! If I can get them to produce for me.My Walter Worms culture crashed. I will be getting a new one soon. My Vinegar Eels, Micro Worms and Grindals are producing well.Micro Worms/Walter Worms will be a small starter culture. It does not take much to get these started. These I will sell for $3 (including shipping).
For a Large (about 1 ounce) it will be $6.00 (including shipping)
All prices are subject to change due to shipping costs.WALTER WORMS AND MICRO WORMS: It is easy to start. Get cheap plain instant oatmeal (cheap instant potatoes). If you use instant oatmeal, follow directions on the box as far as cooking...serving 1...do not add salt...just water and oatmeal and cook. While still pretty warm, dump into your container and "smooth" over the entire container (cheap disposable glad lock containers work well) and add a pinch of dry yeast to the top...
NOTE: If the medium is to hot it will kill the yeast...if to cold the yeast will not be activated. If you use instant potatoes...heat up water and add the instant potatoes until they are firm (not runny) but not dry...don't add anything to it but water and potatoes. Let cool to room temp then dump into a container with a lid...
NOTE: I have switched back to oatmeal because it seems to last longer. Open your new starter package and dump onto medium. I use a little "treated" water to wash the bag out onto the medium to make sure I get the worms out (this is why you leave the potatoes firm and not runny). I also feed Spirulina Algae flakes to them. Cover with lid...make sure there are holes in the lid for air. Check on them every few days. You should be able to harvest in about a week or 2. After 2 weeks you need to start a new culture...repeat process...once your NEW culture is going and you can harvest...dump the old and start a new.
VINEGAR EELS:Vinegar Eels will be about 1 ounce of culture. These I will sell for $5 (including shipping).
These are also easy to start. (directions to be added soon)
GRINDALS (mite free):Grindals will come in a Styrofoam cup (cup size to be added soon) with coconut fiber as a medium. These will sell for $6.00.
You will need to have more fiber on hand when you get these. I feed mine either baby oatmeal or Spirulina algae flakes. To culture these, you will need a container with the coconut fiber in it. The fiber needs to be moist. I soak mine in "treated" water overnight before I add the worms. Once the fiber has soaked...dump the water out and add the fiber with the culture on it. They need to be fed as soon as you get them. Sprinkle which ever food you decide on top of the fiber and spritz with "treated" water to moisten the food...DON'T soak the food. Lay a piece of plexi-glass over the food and cover the container (I use a plastic shoe box). Make sure there are holes in the lid for air. Feed these guys about ever 3 days or so as needed (meaning feed only when the prior food is gone). If you over feed you will end up with mold/fungus or mites. You harvest off the plexi-glass. Only start harvesting when you see lots of worms on the plexi-glass, and only harvest enough for you fish...don't over harvest or you will loose your culture.
Thanks for looking at my site
