I got 2 smallish 'portions' of blackworms from a local fish store sometime mid-winter. I mentioned culturing blackworms back in May, but never followed up on a question from Bob Bock. NANFA-L- Culturing blackworms - very late response If you agree, maybe drop a line of support in that topic: There's a lot of info on this forum, but it's scattered all about and not especially easy to find. I've been lobbying to create a new live foods subforum as a place to discuss all aspects of culturing/collecting live foods.

The issue is that they seem to have a pretty slow growth rate compared to other cultures - definitely not something that you can start with a small culture and have it balloon exponentially in a matter of weeks.

Maybe with that large of a colony I'll get a growth rate that's sufficient to harvest sustainably.

I'm thinking I might set them up in a good-sized container with sand bottom, and just concentrate on feeding them to keep them healthy while I use them up over a period of months, rather than trying to grow the culture. That's actually better than if I ordered them directly from (they quoted me about $35 including shipping for 1lb). I just contacted my local independent aquarium store, and they can sell me 1/2 lb of blackworms for $17, or 1lb for $31. I might have given up on actually culturing these guys. If anyone figures something else out, I'd love to hear it.īut. Spirulina flakes were the only food I found to work consistently - but seems there must be something cheaper that you could feed them.
