Culturing White Worms:
I have cultured live foods for decades and white worms are easily my favorite live food culture. They are exceptionally high in protein, productive year round, can be gut-loaded for extra nutritional value, will survive in a fish tank for weeks...there are many reasons why white worms are my favored live food culture.
Medium:
Most soil, peat, cocofiber, and commercial beddings work well. We use reduced sodium coco fiber but don't recommend it over other products. Medium depth isn�t overly important. Keep their medium wet; white worms are close to semi-aquatic and love moisture.
Food:
White worms are related to common composting worms, such as the red worm many of us have in our home compost pile. On the menu is bread, cereal, rice, potato, and fruits & vegetables. It must be soft & wet or the worms struggle ingesting it.
Temperature:
There is a lot of misleading information suggesting white worms require a low temperature of 62 degrees. Enchytraeus Albidus, on this continent, ranges from Canada to Virginia, as well as inhabiting many other temperate parts of the world. The magic �62� degree number originated from some of the first scientific studies that used a Northern strain - so doesn�t represent all Enchytraeus Albidus locations. It�s a regurgitated figure from self-appointed experts referencing each other over the years. In addition, many of these strains have been in the hobby for many decades, such as this one, allowing them to further adapt to our home environments.
My cultures are kept in the garage where the concrete floor keeps their temperature mild. In fact, during the Summer of 2021, my area experienced the hottest Summer ever recorded and I harvested throughout. We set an all-time high record of 111 degrees, with cultures in the garage reaching the mid 80�s, and though not happy they didn�t perish. Reality is white worms are robust & productive in an impressive range of temperatures.
Culture Invaders / Mites:
There is an easy way to rid a culture of invaders - �mitigate� them. How? When you tap on a culture the worms will retreat deep into the medium. Then, remove the top layer of medium and place it outside where the mites will wander off. When the medium is invader free add it back into the worm culture.
Harvesting:
Place a plastic deli container lid over their food and the worms will crawl onto it. Dip that directly into your fish tanks. This also aids in keeping their food moist enough for the worms to consume it.
GUARANTEE:
What if your culture doesn�t show up alive? Send us a picture and we will ship a replacement at no cost.
INSTRUCTIONS AFTER RECEIVING PACKAGE:
To prevent the medium from leaking water into the shipping box we reduce its moisture content. When in their new container add water until it's fully saturated.
Add a wet piece of bread, about the size of your thumb-nail, in the center. It needs to stay wet at all times. If it dries, dig a pit to wetter soil and place the bread there.
Place your new culture in a cool location and away from sunlight.
GRINDAL WORM vs. WHITE WORM:
I keep both worms and there is one important difference - that is temperature. If it wasn�t for temperature these two worms are equally easy to culture. Both these worms are temperate species, but each has a different �ideal� range they are fond of. If I was a grindal worm you would find my home warm - if I was this strain of white worm you would find my home a little on the cool side. My grindal worms are kept in the fishroom where it�s warm, and white worms are kept in the garage where the concrete floor keeps cultures mild.
