Grindal Worm Starter Live Culture

Seasonal shipping notice: Due to high temperatures commonly experienced during the summer months and freezing temperatures during winter I am not able to guarantee live delivery on live cultures at these times.  For customers in urgent need of cultures and willing to take a chance I will still continue to ship cultures upon request.  As a general guideline... microworms and vinegar eels tend to ship well at temperatures between 1C (34F) and up to a maximum of 30C (86F).  Grindal worms between 1C (34F) and up to 27C (80F).  White Worms are the most heat sensitive and ship best between 1C (34F) up to a maximum of 20C (68F).  Daphnia, Moina, Brine Shrimp and Rotifer eggs are safe to ship at all temperatures. Please keep in mind that the temperatures in a mail truck or mail box on a sunny day may be significantly higher than the outdoor air temperature.

This offering is for a starter culture mix of worms and culture bedding packed in 4"x3" breather baggie. There will be 100's of grindal worms giving you a great start for your culture.

Grindal worms are one of my favourite live foods. I use a lot of these worms in my hatchery. They get fed to everything from two week old fry to full grown adult fish. They thrive at room temperature and when you set up your culture correctly you will be absolutely amazed at how many worms can be harvested every day. They do best in soil or coconut coir around 1" deep and kept damp. For food quick oats or rice bran are both very good.  Sprinkle a small amount of food on the surface of the soil every few days and then place a tile or piece of glass on the surface of the soil.  When the culture is established the worms will collect on the underside of the tile making them easy to harvest.
