  1. Hello, Does anyone have any X. helleri rio otapa swords they could ship or know of anyone that might be able to sell some? I've been looking for a bit and can't really find a source, especially since greg sage has stopped working with the line. Thanks, Simon
  2. I keep several cultures in my wine fridge. I prefer the cold cultures and the food doesn't go bad as fast. Fish go nuts for them, especially tetras. My emperor tetras specifically are turning into little piranhas (same family so not unsurprising) whenever I feed with worms. Anyways, culture is pretty straight forward. I use take out containers, and poked some holes in the lids. The substrate is coco fiber (those dehydrated bricks for terrariums that you have to rehydrate). I don't like using topsoil as you introduce other things that might outcompete your worms. Onto the fiber, I place my starter culture, and then I put a flat top cover onto the soil. I found, those water filled freezer packs that you use in coolers, to be excellent tops as they help keep the temperature stable. Under the flat cover, I put the food (rehydrated cat food kibbles) and then close the culture and put it in the fridge. I prefer to feed only what the worms will finish in a couple of days. I've had some cat food go bad as the worms didn't finish it off fast enough. I harvest daily, and I would strongly suggest you keep at least 2 cultures. I had one crash on me for no reason that I could discern, so be aware. Dave Ramsey has a good method, just the bread I find overkill as cat food works great. Plus, my opinion is that if the food is good enough for our cats, it's also good enough for the worms/fish.
