This auction includes a large�two ounce plus starter culture of nematode worms widely cultured and used�as a first food for fry of many species of freshwater tropical fish, and as a second food for smaller fry.� This is a healthy, sizable culture that can be used to start two mother cultures that will be ready to feed in short order.

The microworm (Panagrellus redivivus) is the larger of the three nematodes commonly used in the hobby as first and second live foods and is on a par with newly hatched baby brine shrimp in terms of vital nutrients and protein, but is much easier to culture and maintain.

Pictured below are female and male P. redivivus, respectively.

�

�

These nematode worms�thrive in a simple culture medium of oatmeal enriched with a small sprinkle of active baker's yeast - supplied with your starter.

Room temperature up to about 85^o�F is acceptable, and the worms�throw 40 or so young from the their 4th day on. There will ALWAYS be enough worms on hand for all the fry you can produce. Within literally days of starting your cultures with our large starter portion you will see the surface of your cultures shimmering with millions of�worms. �

Microworms can stay alive in the tank for hours thus giving your fry time to seek them out before they die and foul the water.� Care should be taken with the amount fed though, as all foods will foul a tank if overfed.

�

---

AND Finally.....

You also receive (3) of our best selling 7ml pipettes.

�

These heavy duty - and most importantly wide barreled - six inch long pipettes are graduated in 1/2 ml increments up the 3ml stem and�hold a total of 7ml. �They have multiple uses in any fish room or breeding setup. They will come in handy for dispensing medications, transferring fry and eggs (just snip the tip wider with a pair of scissors), delivering small foods right to the fry that need them without spreading them all over the tank, and a whole host of other applications.�
�

You will also get complete and very detailed culturing instructions and my own guidelines for fry rearing and feeding, sent in an email at the time of your auction win/purchase so you'll have adequate time to prepare for the arrival of your culture.

Your purchase price includes free First Class Mail shipping anywhere in the 50 United States and Puerto Rico.� Auction winners will get the PayPal and snail mail payment addresses on the close of the auction.

We prefer PayPal for payment, but US postal money orders (Available only at the Post Office) are OK as well.

Unfortunately we no longer ship this item outside the US and Puerto Rico.

If it will be sunny and warm in your location PLEASE let me have an address where someone will be home to bring your culture in when it is delivered, as it will cook in short order in a mail box in the sun or even on a porch in very warm weather!� You should know when it will arrive, as your shipping also includes tracking and delivery confirmation.

Thanks For Looking And Best Of Luck With Your Fish! �
