Thanks to you, I did a variation on this successfully! I placed a slice of potato I had scored on one side in a container of compost I got from my garden pile. I punched a few holes in the lid, stored the container on the floor of my garage to prevent freezing and waited 3-4 weeks. When the potato started to decompose, I noticed the surface looked slimy. When I checked with a hand lens, I saw the micro worms. Next I scraped the worms off and placed them in some cooked oatmeal. Let them reproduce, then voila! Saved me $12 plus shipping!
I didn't expect this to work, but it did! I buried 5 potato haves partially hallowed out with hole down across my yard (Arkansas) and marked them with white flags, left them for about 6 days, then dumped them into a large jar with oatmeal, yeast, misted with spray bottle. I forgot about them for a couple weeks with a coffee filter lid, and checked expecting nothing, to see it FILLED with micro worms. :D So I'm going to split the mega culture into smaller containers and supplement my betta fry. I red too much microworms causes them not to develop correctly though.
yo thanks man you save my betta fry....i don't no where to find microworm starter but after seeing your video i can make my own.. great work Dude keep it up!!
These are not grindals. These will never get bigger than they are shown. Tiny wigglers. Great for fry, tetras and small fish. Grindals look like baby earthworms and are larger
Interesting, but it will have to wait, it is already snowing here. :( I wonder if different climates and soil types have different microworms, or possibly none at all? does potting soil or peat moss contain microworms?
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I never knew you could raise these. I have a Betta inside and goldfish outside. I was looking for live foods for them all and found your video. I can't wait to try.
It's a great way to find microworms in nature! but for culturing I prefer porridge only (without yeast) and in full light - I've been keeping them for half a year, very productive and easy.
very interesting, i'm just starting my first tropical tank and of course want to feed my fish the best diet possible. Do you just keep the culture in a tub? Inside or out?
theantinwofish: I'm very sorry for a terribly belated response, I didn't notice your question in time. I keep the culture in the garden (Wales, UK) and use the culturing method described here: www.tropicalfishforums.co.uk/index.php/topic,163402.0.html
Really cool Video was helpful .. but a request could you show us how to prepare Delphinia the same way to create at home please it would be really useful if possible thank you :)
This is (as far as I know) the original method for starting a microworm culture (make a hole in a potato and bury it in soil outdoors). It’s mentioned in aquarium books from the mid-20th century. Of course, your job is a lot easier if you can get a starter from someone who is already culturing microworms. But if you can’t, do this.
Can i change the oatmeals with bread slice? I see someone doing it with breads and milk,but i havent oatmeal and milk Dont ask me for buying it btw,im on a crysis now😭 Thanks
is it possible to keep the microworm culture in 1 container for a month ? like after the harvest you will put some yeast or oatmeal again on the same container. does the microworm culture grow? or its good for 1 harvest .
Quick question: I saw the starter in the video, but what is the starter? And where can I get it? I mixed all of the others as per your instruction though apart from the stater.
Dude it's a verry good video very useful for my pet bettas specifically fry but I'll be a little judgemental here It's gor your own good It's just you grammar. Hope you improve I wish for no negative reply on this comment.
+Ken MAN I think it will didn't work because sweetened oatmeal vs yeast will produce co2 that can kill microworm. I suggest use oat meal without any flavour & for the yeast i use "common dry yeast"
A put my potato in the soil for a week and mines still hard but I don’t know if it works I found in the middle something crawling not worms but very little white and small like dots should I still complete the process?
No, you can't. Because the starter is very stinky and maybe can break down the water parameters... You need to culture it in culture media and then harvest the worm that crawl out from the culture media ... It safer I think ...
quinmallory: It is a good question. I thought a lot about that too. As far as I understand, fish parasites can only be brought from other aquariums or those natural rivers and ponds, which are inhabited by wild fish. Terrestrial things should be harmless.
I tried it but instead of oatmeal I used bread and water and it’s been two days until a week all I see is a white fuzz or moldy thing on the bottom is that usual
+vipin chandran yes wheat flour. If use flour you don't need hot water (use room temp water) & don't mix dry yeast with the dough (just sprinkle on the top of it)

Super demonstration
Very clear and simple even I can understand thank you sir, if you know any other type of culture please post in a video.

Your video was so great now I can make my own microworm culture

Is this also grindal worms?

Great idea! Gonna use this to make food for my angelfish fry, thanks a lot
Hi~ how did it go? Did you try it?
your videos are so satisfying to watch
Nice one! Subscribed ! Btw what do you do when culture is finished? Do I need to do the same thing with the potato again or....?
You can use the harvest as new starter culture, no need do the potato again.
Awesome! I 'll definitely give it a try. Thanks a lot!
Did it work?
Like it & do u take any soil from the middle of the pottato?
Interesting, but it will have to wait, it is already snowing here. :( I wonder if different climates and soil types have different microworms, or possibly none at all? does potting soil or peat moss contain microworms?
Thank you so much for this! The fish shops near me don't sell live cultures so it's hard for me to find food for fry :)
+Luculencia you're welcome, that same, just like my chase. so i decide to experiment and try to make it by myself :D
So do u have to use the outside soil or just some store bought soil?
He used outside soil
tnx it help me a lot in culturing micro worm
did it work??
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I never knew you could raise these. I have a Betta inside and goldfish outside. I was looking for live foods for them all and found your video. I can't wait to try.

Daphnia magna rice porridge?
thanks for telling us it smells gross. will look for an alternative :p
Thank you! Thumbs up. Subscribed.
I only use water and slice breed, putting yeast will make the culture smelly ☺
I cant believe all those years I haven't even seen a damn "plastic glass" 😆
This video is useful though thanks. 👍🔥

So it works?

Got it! Thank you!
Whats the oatmeal flavor?
PLSSS RESPOND can I use gerdenia sliced breads?
Hi Indra would this method with the potato work in a all purpose compost bag as i dont have a garden
After watching this video, I am not going to eat Quaker's Oat Meal. I am afraid I will be transformed into a microworm!
LoL😂
Lol
how many days must the potato be placed inside the soil
Dude it's a verry good video very useful for my pet bettas specifically fry but I'll be a little judgemental here
It's gor your own good
It's just you grammar.
Hope you improve
I wish for no negative reply on this comment.
Thanks for your input. I'm still maintaining to correct the subtitles.
Thank you
how many languages do you speak Henry? thanks Indra your vid was easy to understand.
How often do you change oatmeal and how?
How long can you keep the same culture in the same jar without doing anything? Which is the lowest and higher temperature?
Thanks for making this video. Its simple and budget 😋
At4:47 your adding Starter ? What kind of starter? Please explain .
Starter that we collect in the potato at the beginning
just curious if i can use flavored/sweetened oatmeal? and do i need to use activated yeast or any types of yeast will do?
+Ken MAN I think it will didn't work because sweetened oatmeal vs yeast will produce co2 that can kill microworm. I suggest use oat meal without any flavour & for the yeast i use "common dry yeast"
thanks man, no wonder my previous cultures die.
so a week has past and dug the potato. and i don't see any worms in the potato, is that a fail? or the worms will spawn after you culture them?
Can we use bread instead of oat meal???
Yes bro I did it with bread and it work ❤️❤️
A put my potato in the soil for a week and mines still hard but I don’t know if it works I found in the middle something crawling not worms but very little white and small like dots should I still complete the process?
title: Microworm culture without starter
4:16: now add starter into each container
simple logic, he made his own starter that's what he meant on his video title.
R u dumb??
what a dumb
Can brown bread be used?
this is what I need, thank you so much for sharing
Can I use any yeast powder??
Do these type of blood worms grow big enough 2 fish wit?
Does it have to ble under a tree?
Can we feed the starter from potato to betta fry
No, you can't. Because the starter is very stinky and maybe can break down the water parameters... You need to culture it in culture media and then harvest the worm that crawl out from the culture media ... It safer I think ...
so there is only microworm in the potato? would there be any other form of worms or bugs that may get in there as well?
no. the microworms might came from the soil.. he plant the potato back in the soil so that the microworms go to the potato and use it as a starter
I love your Vid, Great work Tnx for sharing
Does this work in Australia?
Any problem with out yeast??
how many times can we use for one
Nicely done
I've seen this comment in the list but no real answer, how do you know your not getting anything harmful to the fish?
quinmallory: It is a good question. I thought a lot about that too. As far as I understand, fish parasites can only be brought from other aquariums or those natural rivers and ponds, which are inhabited by wild fish. Terrestrial things should be harmless.
quinmallory if you feed too much microworm they wont grow ventral fins. Thats the problem on feeding m.worms on bettas.
@@Baitangina in earth outside you ll also will get tapeworms incl. eggs of them..and those will harm you and your fishes.Deadly to humans and fishes
What did you get to the rotten potato.is it the soil in there or the potato itself
+Qwerty Uiop from burying potato in the soil & colect it from potato itself.
Some say that some nematode are not safe for our fish? Is that true?
In my recommendation for 1 year! Wtf! Finally had to see
Instead of oats meal can I use bread or wheat flour ?? Tell me quick plzz
Yes
How to know if my potato went bad after the 1 week bury? And can I still use it?
