do anyone know a good way of harvesting white owrms

if you google white worms you will come across many articles

basically keep them in a moist substrate(many variations are suggested) and feed them a carbohydrate source(again many variations) read through a few and choose what suits you best

dependant on where you reside climate may neccesitate cooling the culture to maintain it

my culture is going well , but trying to pick the worms out of it in large amount to feed my fish is the problem

 

[fishgeek]

placing something flat across the surface of the culture, i use plastic ice cream lid , with the food on will tend to have the worms accumulate on this which i thne find easier to wipe off with my finger

finger then washed clean in tank

some suggest placing the plastic/glass/flat surface at an angle so that less substrate amongst the worms

i just wash the worms in a jug if i feel to much muck with them

I keep white worms relatively cool, on the floor of the fish house. They live in compost, which I keep moist using a water spray every other feed. I feed them most days, using oats, which I sprinle on top of a piece of persex. Then I lay the perspex on the compost, with the oats on the top side. This way the worms leave the soil and crawl onto the clear perspex surface, easily and cleanly harvested.
