Description

White Worms, (Enchytraeus Albidus), are a type of non-parasitic worm that is closely related to the red worm and the grindal worm. They are larger than grindal worms, usually reaching a length of 1-1.5 inches long. This size makes them an ideal food for larger juvenile fry and medium size adult fish. White worms like cooler temperatures, and reproduce best at around 50 � 68 degrees F with preferably nothing over 70 degrees F. Temperatures warmer than 80 degrees F will cause the culture to crash and die off. White worms are great for picky eaters because the constant movement they make heightens the prey drive of your fish. This makes them almost irresistible. They can live for a few days in the aquarium, making them an excellent way to allow your fish to hunt and graze over an extended period of time. This also keeps the water quality much cleaner verses uneaten flakes for pellets. White worms are high in fat content and some hobbyists recommend against feeding these worms more than once or twice a week, unless you are conditioning your fish to breed. White worm cultures take longer to establish than other cultures. Usually waiting a period of 4-5 weeks before harvesting is a lengthy enough amount of time for the culture to establish itself. Once you get your culture establish you should subculture a second batch of white worms. To do this simply take a small amount of soil and worms and add to a new prepared container. A combination of harvesting and sub-culturing will keep the population under control which also helps to keep the culture from becoming over crowded and possibly crashing. If provided the right care and environment white worm cultures will continue to reproduce and populate providing a never ending supply of live food for your fish. Auction winner will receive a white worm culture and a small bag of food. Shipping is with USPS priority mail at a cost of $8. SHIPPING POLICY I ship Monday through Wednesday only. This helps prevent loss of life due to weekend delays. I strongly urge all customers to keep a close eye on tracking using USPS tracking service. It is important that you are able to receive your package as soon as it is delivered as some species of fish and feeder cultures are very sensitive to extreme hot and cold temperatures. In most cases, I use USPS Priority Mail but some items do ship USPS First Class. Overnight mail is available upon request. After your package leaves my hands I cannot be responsible for late, delayed, damaged, lost, or stolen packages. I ship to the US only. I reserve the right to hold shipping if I feel that the weather is not within reasonable conditions. I will NOT risk the health of my stock. HOLIDAY SHIPPING POLICY I do NOT ship during holidays. If I feel that your order will not arrive without delay, I will hold shipping until the following week. I know this may be of some inconvenience but I want to make sure everyone gets a healthy package. RETURN/DOA POLICY Due to the nature of my products, I do not accept returns. If in the rare event that your culture or fish arrive dead you must send me 2 photos within 2 hours of delivery time. I will do my best to resolve any issues that you may have. **I do not guarantee live arrivals on fish that are NOT shipped express (overnight) mail.** If you have purchased a worm culture that you think may have perished during transit, do NOT throw the substrate away. It will contain viable eggs that will hatch. Instead feed and seed the culture as normal. I cannot be responsible for cultures or fish after the allotted delivery time as I cannot control how well you care for them or how long they set exposed to temperatures in mailboxes. Please note: If a replacement order of fish or a culture is needed buyer must pay for shipping. All orders will only be replaced once. If replacement attempt fails, buyer will be given a store credit for the originally ordered product excluding any shipping charges. Buyer must send email and 2 photos to: willyoueatworms@gmail.com within the same 2 hour allotted delivery time before any credit is applied.
