Live Worm Starter Cultures (Microworm, Banana Worm or Walter Worm)

Want to harvest your own live food to offset some costs of expensive foods? These worm cultures are the perfect fry food and breeding conditioning, and healthier for your fish too. Choose Microworms, Banana Worms, or Walter Worms, or take all three.

Care and setup: As long as you have any of the following (baby oatmeal, instant mashed potatoes, quick oats, active yeast), just mix them together in a 16 oz container, or better yet a rectangular 1-gallon Rubbermaid storage container, with just a small amount of water to make it firm but not too firm or too runny.

Maintaining the culture: Every 3-4 days, take some from the sides of the container and a small scoop of the oatmeal mixture and put it in a fresh container to keep a culture sustainable. You always want a backup, just in case a culture crashes. Use the culture for about 3 weeks to feed your fish and harvest, and you've got yourself a living food source for your fish.
