Been binging on your channel. Great content and very well articulated. How do you feel about dirted tanks? I’ve set up about 9 tanks all dirt and sand. I do find my birth ratio is higher and survival rate is really good. As you said planted is key for the fry to hide. I do like a heavily planted tank. Thanks for the uploads. 👍🏼
Thank you for the video. Quick question. Can the worms introduce bad bacteria or parasites into a betta fish if you feed them these cultured worms? THanks
as long as you make sure there are no leeches in your culture when you start, you will be fine. most cultures will contain leeches so make sure of that!
I found recently that my local aquarium supply shop actually keeps bags of live black worms and brine shrimp in bags for sale, I’m not sure where you live, but search some local shops!
we have had guppies spawn in that tank before... at this point we found out it was the parents, and we just need to put the mother into a breeder box, then separate the fry before they're eaten
I enjoyed the video, a new sub. I am looking forward to future uploads. 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video really appreciate your help. This will definitely save me money and my fish will surely appreciate.
Glad you liked it! Your fish will be so happy!
Very helpful! Thank you! Do the worms need light?
no light needed

@@naturenel ive never given dirted tanks a try, usually just put root tabs under plants. maybe ill give it shot someday
How often do you change out the water? -- Nevermind you answered it in the video.

do you stir them ever to break them to produce more segments?
no, i havent but that might work
Which temperature is requred for the black worm setup?
We keep ours at 72F
@@Fishforyou2023would they breed at 62 fahrenheit ?
@@kimpliniussen2591 not sure, try putting a small heater with them. theyre typically set to 78. thatd be fine for them.
Cooler water is better for breeding.
Thank you for this!!!!!
no problem. hope it was helpful
Do you have to have lighting for the culture????
no lighting necessary
I am going to have to try that 👍👍👍
Hope you enjoy
Do you ever vacuum clean the gravel?
no, if i do its because the water got stirred up and then did a water change. it gets sucked out a little bit every time you harvest
@@Fishforyou2023 thanks
New sub thanks for the video!
Thank you for the sub!!
@@Fishforyou2023 I am trying to figure out how to order a black worm culture for my aquarium. You are welcome!
@@dixsigns1717 message us on facebook if youd like to order. Fish For You is our page, they should be on our website by the end of the week
@@Fishforyou2023 I can wait, I am having ammonia problems
Where can I buy a culture?
I found recently that my local aquarium supply shop actually keeps bags of live black worms and brine shrimp in bags for sale, I’m not sure where you live, but search some local shops!
we are working on figuring out shipping for these guys, to make them available through our store soon
Can worms be kept alive without an oxygen pump?
no, the worms create a lot of waste, a filter or airstone is needed.
Where did you get the culture?
Got them at a local auction. Spent months culturing and making pest free. It will be available on our website soon
How many blackworms did you start with?
@@censusgary about a half ounce. theoretically you could start with 1 if you cut it into multiple
I’m thinking those rasboras are why you aren’t seeing guppy fry.
