Auction
With this auction you get established culture, food, and new medium for numerous future cultures. Shipping is $15.
1. One deli container of established white worm & springtail culture.
2. The remainder of the medium-sized USPS box filled with the best medium I use. This is enough medium to make numerous cultures.
3. Food.

White worms are a must for the serious hobbyist. I prefer culturing white worms over grindal worms as they are easier to culture, are larger, don�t sink in the gravel, and live for days in the aquarium. I culture them year round, and in the summer keep them cool by putting them in a cool area of the garage. They are very high in fat making them excellent for conditioning and breeding. Springtails are also very nutritious and extremely prolific.

Shipping
Shipping by USPS Priority mail in a medium box. Shipping not included in auction price and is $15.


Culturing
Container: Sandwich and shoe-box containers work great.

Medium: Most potting soils, WalMart worm bedding, coco fiber, or peat moss. Keep moist but not wet.

Food: Rice, beans, breads, cereals, baby food, oatmeal, fish food, baked potato, leftovers, etc.

Temp: A lot of literature says to keep white worms under 65 degrees or the worms stop reproducing. Understand, it doesn�t always need to stay under 65degrees. In the summer my cultures go above that temperature, but at night the temperature falls and the worms reproduce. Simply keeping this culture in a cool place in your house is sufficient in most states. In really hot states adding a frozen water bottle during the hottest days will suffice in keeping the temperature down.


Springtails:
They are tiny, about the size of a gnat, but even my angelfish eat them. They float and will live on the surface for weeks. To harvest scoop out the sections of soil they are heavy in, and drop into a cup of water causing the springtails to float.

White worms:
White worms are high in fat content which makes them perfect for conditioning and breeding.
