Things needed;-
1.clear plastic container ( Clear containers let you monitor your production.)

2.wheat flour orAny grain or cereal.

3.Yeast

4.water
5.Starter culture of microworms.


culturing microworms is real easy and good for most of the fish frys if you are try to breed one or want to breed one you should have a running culture of miroworms.
All you have to do is pour all three ingreadients in your container. The easiest way is to pour a ¼ inch of wheat flour in your container,

sprinkle the surface with dry yeast,

and add a little water.

You don’t even need to stir unless you want to. Pour in enough water to make a paste for best long term results. If you make the mixture soupy, it starts faster but peters out quicker. If you add too much water, put in enough wheat to thicken your mixture.now simply just add the starter culture to the mixture.

Cover Your Containers. Microworms need some sort of cover to keep them humid enough to crawl up the sides. Covers also keep house flies and fruit flies out. Even a piece of aluminum foil will work. Snap on tops fit a little too tightly. The carbon dioxide from the yeast can suffocate your worms. Poke some small holes in your lid.

Nice write up. Here guys looking proper way to culture microworms. You know, personally I don't like any type of live food.

The easiest way to harvest worms is to wipe them off the sides with your finger.

Or use a tiny rubber spatula, if you’re a weenie. Then just feed them to your fry. Rinse your finger in the fry tank.

Or rinse them into a container of water and feed them out with an eyedropper.


Worm Size. Adult microworms range in size from 1/10 to 1/8 inches long.

The baby microworms are even tinier. So you get a real range of food sizes edible by the smallest fry.

Worms Survive. Since microworms live a long time in a water environment, they survive very well in an aquarium (unlike baby brine shrimp). They won’t live for days, but they do live for 24 hours. This means you don’t have to re-feed every four hours. But, watch out for overfeeding.

Hey, thank you so much.
Very encouraging and simple!!

very nice post Aamir

well done.

i already read this thread and wanted to know different foods for both microworms and grindal worms so started a new topic

thanks for sharing...nice write up...

What I follow is add bread instead of wheat flour and yeast. Bread has both of them so saves up a little on cost...

how are you guyz managing microworms in the extreme heat. my microwrorm cultures were running well but as the heat increased they stopped climbing the sides of the container
