Once again Michael, you never seem to amaze me. Great job!
Thank you very much!
I have a few black worms. I feed them to my minnows and they love it!
You could cut blackworms in half and feed one half to the fish and let the other part to regenerate for the next month feeding :)
The master of experiments! Great video, Please make some updates on how the culture grows, breeding etc!
Thank you very much!!
I've been working on number of videos on this topic - you will see them in due time.
@@4me very interesting!
Good video my friend
Thank you very much!
You really make a small ecosystem sir 😁
I DO :)
Those worms are very cute.
They are! Though, they are not as noticeable in aquariums with fish...for obvious reasons - they hide from fish :) I may show it in more details in future videos ;)
Nice video. I have not tried to keep black worms myself yet.
Thank you!
You would like to have them in your aquariums!
Thank you so much for very informative video
My pleasure! All the best on your adventure!!
There is one thing to take note of. Leaches do come with black worms. Now these leaches are harmful to your pets. It is good to risen the black worms and give them a good stir and to remove any leaches.
Many different types of critters come together whether we want it or not. I usually put all new "things" into a separate nurseries for observation before moving them into main aquariums just for that reason.
You got a subscriber india from kerala
Thank you very much!!
So cool! Haven’t been commenting on your videos for a while… 😄
Thank you for coming back!
Excellent video buddy I appreciate this video 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
My pleasure!!
I need black worms right now
Awesome video btw! ;)
Thank you very much!
Summer is right now time to pick them up in a wild :) You can see them in ponds of Central park NYC shown in this live stream: ua-cam.com/video/PsAQIX68KTc/v-deo.html
Happy hunting!
This is awesome I'm doing the same but no plants just rocks bcuz I don't have plants but they are thriving & multiplying quickly
Plants help to reduce harmful waste dissolved in water. And I use land plants to grow on top just with roots in water and many land mosses grow fully submerged underwater. Summer is the best time to pick up some land plants/mosses if you want to try them in aquariums.
Thanks for the amazing video!
My pleasure!!

6:14 Haha! The fish got into the turkey baster!
It happens more often than I want 🙂
Superb
Thank you very much!
Great video! Did you know that currently there are NO blackworm cultures avail in the US? Apparently, there is a massive shortage.
Thank you very much!
Hmm...I had no idea about this shortage. Well, I would expect more worms available naturally during warm season any way.
I remember a couple years back there was world wide shortage of crickets - I start culturing Isopods at that time in preparation for newts. Always feel sorry for owners of pets relying on pet stores for getting food for pets. Even though I fully understand how challenging it could be to culture live food
@@4me Apparently, there is only one mass purveyor of blackworms in the US (!) and they sell to all the other sellers (local fish shops) as well as to individuals like me. In any event, they over extended and have now set a moratorium until spring.
@@LushSaltyAquariums Wow that's like a monopoly 🙂
@@4me sad but true.
One year later and still not enough black worms
Dude You rock!
Thank you very much!
You are awesome
Thank you very much!
I have a challenge for you. You should try these types of Aquariums, but on a bit of a larger scale. Like a 5 gallon, to about maybe 8 gallons. That would be really sweet to see. Also how I can get my hands on a breeding pair of your dwarf guppies?
Thank you very much! About 5 years ago I moved away from standard boxed shaped aquariums (10gal and up) to make space for my projects. Large aquariums have beauty that takes valuable space that I cannot afford without stopping ongoing projects. I may do it in future or for some specific project.
My dwarf guppies come with a set of specific traits I breed them for. Namely: the size under 2.5cm adult up to 2 years old fish and reduced breeding rate. The small size and reduced breeding rate are necessary traits for keeping (and breeding) fish in sustainable aquariums of any size. Now my dwarfs get literally a couple babies an year. I don't cull fish anymore. Any spare fish I may get goes directly into my kids aquariums.
I still have not done anything with my 2 gallon tank and every time I think I should probably just get rid of it, I see one of your videos and decide to keep it. The black worms and snails are something I think I could handle as they would not need a lot of attention, yet cool to watch. Will the worms keep on multiplying to unmanageable levels if I were to leave them in the tank - with only snails as I have no fish to feed them to? Always enjoy you video - in any case:
Thank you very much for watching my videos!
There is no such thing as unmanageable levels of population for any species...except human population. Population of all other known living organisms governed by the same Natural laws. Available food and space are one of the major parameters limiting maximum level of population. You will see increases and decreases in size of colony over period of time in repeating cycles. The colony may collapse after it reaches the maximum density population. You can prevent the collapse by removing or relocating part of the colony - I usually (once in a month or so) use the excess for making fish food or feeding directly to the fish in other aquariums. It's rather simple to maintain sustainable aquariums...really takes 5-10 minutes a week or month.
All the best on your adventure!
Awesomeeee
Thank you!
hi, great vid. Where did you get them? the amazon link are unavailable. Have been trying to get them for a long time but has been impossible to find a source. If anyone can suggest how i can get them i would apreciate it ALOT heheh cheers
Thank you!
I got blackworms from Ebay and from local ponds. The Amazon links generally location sensitive - may not work for your country.
Here is a video about where I got them: ua-cam.com/video/-p_z3fTPTqA/v-deo.html
Here is a live stream video shown blackworms in a pond of Central park (to the end of the video): ua-cam.com/video/PsAQIX68KTc/v-deo.html
All the best on your adventure!
How are you sir
I am md muaz
Did you recognize me
Sir can two male and one female should keep together
Hi md muaz!
I keep two males and one female guppies in my aquariums for breeding without any problem.

Автор ты Русский же? Акцент наш, расскажи по русски про червя и где его купить?
I am Russian born in Ukraine USSR. Most of my adult live I've been living in New York. I do speak and write in Russian on a my dedicated to Russian classical literature channel: youtube.com/@4ru
You can buy black worms on Amazon (paid link): amzn.to/3CDJnls or look for worms in your local ponds.
@@4me Спасибо за ответ! Покупка с Амазон - это целая проблема... Как в России называется этот червь? Поиск в интернете не дал результата
@@user-st5sq5si6d My pleasure! I am not sure what it called in Russian...look for scientific name: Lumbriculus variegatus - that should give you local results... if any. All the best on your hunt!
Your guppies will eat the blackworms
They sure do!
