Culture of Blood Worms

Unread post by **jack** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:22 pm

Greetings,

hello every one ? hope doing great

I am planning to start a culture of blood worm for my Wild Caught Rams,(i have never tried feeding live food to fish in 10 years of hobby) I have introduced them into the aquarium and been three days but they are not taking any feed. so thought might give a try to blood worms. Blood worms are very rarely available into the LFS over here, so i can really depend on them. I surfed the new for the info, but very confusion. So you experts are the best. Please let me know the step by step process to start blood worm culture. I will be able to get a small quantity of bloodworms today and will try to feed them.

As far as I know, these are insect larvae, so not sure if you can culture at home as you ll need insect as well.
I hope you dint refer to tubifex?

Why dont you get some Hikari/NLS stuff?

Hello jack if you are referring to blood worms you cannot culture them cause they are the larva of a midge,a species of chironomus.
I will refer you to culture grindal worms they are easy to culture and ideal size to be feed to rams.
