If you take them out of the dirt and put them in room temperature thick oatmeal overnight it pushes out the dirt from their system and "gut loads" them with nutritious oatmeal for the fish when they eat them!!! Just rinse them before feeding them to the fish.
Nice healthy colony of red worms you have there! They’re duel duty, they’re feed for the fish and they take care of all your veggie wastes. 👍
I Love your Pufferfish😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍
Great video......been using these for a while, too. My wild discus go crazy for them, as do my altums.
I have tried keeping red wigglers two times now and both times unsuccessful. Watching this I'm going to try again. Third time's the charm hopefully!
"Red Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms!" sorry I had to
I bet no one else will get that reference lol
6:52 Puffers, no matter the size, are really more docile compared to other fish. They are really "considerate" of other fish in the tank yet I have some that will fight other fish, especially for food. I've had only 1 that would fight another fish and they both died the next day. I didn't see the fight but I have witness one or the other chasing each other.
I had pea puffers, a couple were donated to me. They all lived around 3 to 4 yrs, the youngest died at a month due to the fights with the "peaceful" Harlequin Rasbora. I have one puffer per tank, only 3 total. I have raised 2 together but they just chase each other when they grew up.
I wouldnt put out a blanket statement that puffers are docile. That is the case with some species, but some like the Congo Puffer, Hairy puffers or any of the ambush puffers are downright terrors and kill everything in the tank.
@@SteenfottAquatics I forgot about those.
No animal products except boiled eggs shells... plus if you really love your worms and you want to see them multiply fast add corn or a blob of day old grits and let it breakdown. They'll start going crazy😂
Try feeding them coffee grounds my European night crawlers love it. Thanks Bob.
It actually never occurred to me to try big worms, I've got yoyo loaches and one huge rasbora that would love them, and maybe my raphael catfish would be into it as well. I have a few grindal tubs on the go so wouldn't hurt to add another box of worms somewhere
I've been raising them for years. I keep mine in a Maxwell House plastic container. I use them for fishing and for above ground garden boxes to do my tilling, and adding natural fertilizer. If using for fishing, add a little corn meal to them a week or two before hand. They get big and fat!!
Bluegills love red wigglers.
Thanks! I just ordered 250
Small strainer and pour the aquarium water over them, then throw the water back in the bin...red wrigglers are awesome!
I'm trying to figure out how I can do this ,but I live in a apartment!! Don't think my lady wants this anywhere in the house!!!! Looks really easy... thanks for always helping us with so many cool ideas!
I am sure you could do this in an apartment. They do not smell at all. Well, smells like dirt when it's open but that's it.
@@SteenfottAquatics I'm gonna give it a try !!!! ✌️🌿🐟☮️
@@thefishylife6823 Hmm, I live in an apartment and am doing this for 3 or 4 years now. While they do not smell, it will be fruit fly heaven. Ladies often do not like that :-).
I have a small tote for vermicomposting in my apartment bedroom. Toss my duckweed in there and my spam mail.
What temp do they prefer? I want to do this. And this for a short time with bigger worms. Went well. Great video.
I had Canadian Night Crawlers.
Room temp works pretty well when it comes to vermicomposting .
Do you still keep worms
Would it be safe to feed baby red wigglers to guppies?
Oooo earth worms
My angels won't eat them but my rainbow fish love them.
So which fish can I feed these guys too? I'm not sure if I want to do these white worms or black worms tbh.. just know I want something that is that size which is why I've narrowed it down to that so far.
Nice vid. I have a worm factory. Big fun.
i had no idea angel fish liked worms!
Big fish kind of freak me out, the biggest I ever got is a beta, so I might try this with him.
Could be cool to find another purpose to keeping my worm compost
This is a great video. 👍
I am trying this! I can’t find live bloodworms locally..
It's called a three pronged gardening tool hehe, I usually hold up three bent fingers as I ask if anyone has seen it.
It's called a hand cultivator.
Awesome brotha
I know you didnt just pick up a roach !!!
I just bought some from Uncle Jim's as well for my axolotls.
Red worms im told are bad for axolotls.
@@danielwykowski6069 no, they're not. A lot of the breeder I know feed them red wigglers.
Do you know if it’s ok to order them in the winter
That pronged garden tool is known as a "cultivator."
Actually, you were right the first tome.....lol! red smugglers are a compost worm, NOT an earthworm, such as a nightcrawler.
I thought fish don’t like red wigglers 🤷🏼♂️
