ishaan, amir is right. Before you keep any live food, read read read! Aqualandpetsplus is a website i have read every single page of! And i started years ago.
Otherwise, u will keep asking for cultures, getting them, and losing them.
Ask amir!

Then asking again, getting them, and l o o o o o s ing them again...

to be fair, i have myself lost microworms once and grindals also once. But i got grindals back from a guy i had given a culture to earlier, with amir's help, so friends help each other a lot in this. Microworms people neglect coz they don't have fry all the time, but even they are worth keeping throughout. Adult guppies, even adult shrimp eat them!
