Need some help on romifex

@Romi
That was what I was thinking. That as temps rise the worms metabolism increases and they eat more so less leftovers to stink.

Why not make two cultures of your culture, doctor, and try this new approach in the second?

I would also urge u to try some spirulina powder.. or tetrabits powder, just to see how things go.

Ok so I was reading up on the Internet. I haven't got planaria In the romifex cultures, technically what I have are microturbellaria - related to but not planaria. Even worse, they are described as predacious!

Romi, I already have two cultures, am about to start a third. Can't put all eggs in one basket.

And a small correction, triclads that mean the classic planarians are predatory, microturbellaria are detrivores, eating detritus mainly.

Doc,

cant you get some Nematode guy to identify the Microfex (scientific name) you being in the same circles.

Romi,

got the reason for cross contamination of cultures,

I thing it is the flies that must be taking the eggs or microfex to the grindal cultures.

if there is any other reason please tell me.

As far as i can recall, the tubifex do not lay eggs but have their gametes come together and make worms in a rapid transformation. Unlike their relatives the earthworms that do encase eggs in a sac. i think i read this on wikipedia.

then it must be the babies that the flies are carrying here and there. I cannot think of any other reason.

Makes sense buddy.... But take my advice and keep the grindals in a separate room
