Description

The total cost of this auction is $20(culture) + $6(shipping) = $26. My paypal account is ryanthehut@gmail.com

I list several food culture versions, including white worms, daphnia pulex, daphnia magna, microfex, copepods, and springtails. I offer robust culture strains. Every auction is guaranteed to arrive alive one time, with a free replacement sent. You can view my culturing video on my Facebook page: White Worm Man: https://www.facebook.com/White-Worm-Man-158732174581574/

I have cultured most everything over the years. The two cultures every serious aquarist should culture are daphnia and white worms. You may find content that discusses these cultures as being a challenge, but that is because serious aquarists value them, and all topics are thoroughly discussed. Of all the things I have cultured these two offer the greatest yields with minimal effort. You can also co-culture a few other things along with them.



Auction:
You are bidding on a small USPS priority box filled with established culture medium. It's enough culture for a shoebox container. The medium is taken from around a feeding worm mass, so it will not only contain 100's of worms, but also be full of eggs. Put the medium into your container and you have an instant culture. This is a robust strain I have had for many years, and found to be much more tolerant of heat than what is believed. My outdoor temperatures occasionally go over 100, with my cultures getting into the high 70', and have never had trouble.

DOA:
I will replace a DOA box once at no charge if someone receives the package. Please have someone home waiting for the mail to be delivered. If this culture is put into your mailbox, in the elements, it's on you. I write on the box for the mailman to deliver to the door, but the mailman isn't required to do so. Also, white worms are fairly long, and adults may get ground up on bumpy rides. If you see one worm the eggs will be fine. This will only set you back very little time.

Culturing White Worms: :
Medium: Culture in peat moss, coco fiber, and soils. The medium I use is a specific brand of coconut fiber I personally treat/soften. Depth can be as little as 1/4". Keep very moist.

Food: Bread, cereals, vegetables, potato, rice. They feed on the same things as a composting worm.

Temperature: Anywhere in the 60's is good. My outside temperatures can get to the 100's, and I have never had to add any cooling to my cultures. The culture can go above its ideal temperature and the worms will be fine. At night temperatures will get low enough for reproduction. I moderate my culture temperatures simply by moving them close to the floor in the summer, and higher on a shelf in the winter. If you live in a very hot environment, in the hottest months, you can place a fan blowing across your culture. You can also culture them in a cooler, and each day or two add a frozen water bottle.

Harvesting: The worms gather around their food in thick masses. I scoop out a piece of that with a fork. You can also place a piece of plastic over their food, and the worms will crawl on the bottom of it to feed.
