*EASY* Way to Start Your Own Grindal Worm Culture
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Grindal worms are quickly becoming one of my favorite foods to feed in the fish room. They are a fairly easy live food culture and i'll share with you my tips and how I keep the grindal worm cultures going strong and the culture clean. Small but not microscopic, Grindal worms are a great live food culture for larger fry, small fish, and even tetras and livebearers.

How To Culture Live California Blackworms: ua-cam.com/video/apzByw7evO4/v-deo.html
Ive kept a single culture for 3 years!! Every 6 to 8 months I change the pads. I feed the worms small fish pellets to gut load and my fish love them!
I currently am keeping them in dirt. I have two cultures in the fridge because they slow down in the cold but don't die and have a third culture out at room temp that I am feeding old stale fish food that my fish won't eat but that the worms will eat. This method is definitely easier to feed than when in soil because it is less messy, but I have a planted aquarium with dark substrate so if dirt gets into the substrate you can't even tell.
One of these days I'll actually do a worm culture... one of these days... Great video!
Please make another updated video with easy method for huge tanks
I'm gunna have to watch your site and remember to grab one. I've got Microworms, and just ordered baby brine shrimp stuff... But these would be great to!
The only live food I keep. They are the easiest and most robust. I've been doing the soil method but might try the pad next time a restart a culture.
I’ve tried the soil method too and it works for sure. I found this way cleaner and they reproduce the same in my experience
I think most of us start with soil. I started with cocofiber. Worked well but the scrubbies are easier, cleaner, and far less prone to pest problems.
Good info! It's always nice to have a variety of food for young fish.
I do keep grindal worms. My betta and guppies love it. But I use cocopeat..the result grindal Explosion. Nice vid sir.
Great video Ryan, I keep Grindals.. I love the ease of this culture.. I do mine in dirt, but get the mite problem pretty bad.. I'm going to try this scrub pad thingy right now!
Let me know how it works out for you Cole, I’ve tried them in coconut fiber before which wasn’t bad but I find a scrub pad much cleaner
Quick, fast! Super helpful, the best qualities in a diy UA-cam video. Thanks so much!!
Cool idea.....👍
I harvest by using a piece of nylon window screen about one square inch. They grab onto it and it comes up very clean.
Great tutorial, man. I use high quality fish food instead of grain-based food. I don't like feeding my fish's food something I wouldn't want to feed my fish. But, yeah, bread, oats and dog/cat food do work well, especially when just getting the culture started.
That’s a great tip, thanks! I’ll have to try out using some crushed flake
I have used cat food, oats mixed with nutritional yeast, ocassionally spirulina flakes and baby food flakes, the worms dont seem to care what you give them
bread should be soaked in milk and add yeast for best results
They go nuts over those worms!
Yeah man, all sorts of cool behavior comes out. Do you ever feed your cory cats any live food?
@@WildFishTanks no not lately. I put beef heart in a pulse grinder to get the density I want depending on the fish im feeding it to but I used to do live food. I just been lazy lately because all my effort has been converting the garage into a fish room. The hoa over here in westly chapel are like fbi so i need to hide the piping somehow.
I haven’t tried beef heart but I know a lot of discus keepers swear by it. Sounds awesome man, best of luck with the build!
Rewatching this so I know what to do next!
Hey how are you I've been wanting to start a bridal worm culture,but I didn't know how easy you've made it! How can I get a culture from you? Please let me know. Thanks
Great video. Will have to try this. I’m sure my rainbows would like them.
Oh yeah, rainbows should gobble them up!
Where do i get a starter culture?
ငါလည်းသိချင်တယ်
@@yeywelbyatta5572 ?
I also want to know
where do i get a starter
Very helpful, thank you for this!
I wish I would have seen your video sooner would have purchased my grindal worms through you. I think mine are coming from Las Vegas. I'm all new to this aquarium thing and trying to learn all I can. My betta isn't wanting to eat I think he is still getting use to his new place but I've tried betta pellets freeze dried blood worms flake food and nothing then stumbled across lifewithpets and her betta was eating these worms. Thought I would try it out.
I keep mine in coconut fiber. I will try this method though.
Id be curious to know how you like it with the scrub pad, David has then reallly cranking
artemia or grindalworm which is best for guppies
3:16 Nice view of mite eggs just right of center. You may want to clean that culture.
Cool 💪🐟

@@WildFishTanks dont mind if i do
I love G worms, have used 'em for fish breeding & maintenance for decades, with great results & happy fish. I've been having a heckuva time finding any. Great for a refresher --assuming I ever get some. Am going over to WFT now!
know when you might have them for sale, also microworms? My cultures of micros just croaked, & I'd had it going for over a year.
Are grindal worms good for nanofish like dwarf rasboras?
These are different from micro worms right? I gotta get to your website and get some of these bad boys ,I bet the rainbow fry would love these!!!!
Yes, different from microworms. These are bigger
When will you be re-stocking on your worm cultures?
This is so timely, I have tiny little Pea Puffer juveniles and was looking for something to feed them beside snails and black worms. Thanks Ryan, I'll check out your site! Where can I get a starter culture and are these the same as "white worms"?
I don’t think they are the same as white worms but I’m not 100% certain. I’ll have them on the website soon but I’ll message you on IG
Where is the link for the culture? Don’t see it here.
Have you ever tried giving them to Sewellia lineolata? I'm getting a grindal culture, mostly for my barbs, but I'm wondering if the loaches would like them too?
That’s a good question, I’ve never tried feeding them to the Loach as before. They do sink so theoretically they’d be able to get to them
Put them in a drck place at all times they will do much better.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to test it out
Why are you touching with bare hands
I stick my hands in tank water, touch food, snails and fish all the time. Just wash my hands afterwards
I ain't touching those things Ewwww
Rumor has it if you leave your culture running for too long they will grow into bristlenose Pleco bristles
