Blackworms on scrubber pads and crushed coral

[mountaintoppufferkeeper]

I've been working on non refrigerated blackworms in a long term culture for many months now. Two options seem to work well for me to feed a few times a week. 

I feed either a few pellets or a few  algae wafers every other day. I pour out the spring water and refill each version with fresh spring water weekly. 

Option A

3" of sprig water with chunks of coral and 2x2 squares of scrubber pads for easier harvesting

 

My testers : Carinotetraodon travancoricus (WC)

 

Option B 

3" of sprig water with chunks of coral and a filter bag of crushed coral for easier harvesting. If i shake the bag the worms segment making new blackworms by division. I havr noticed in this set up they often concentrate to the bottom of the coral bag

These are terrific solutions.  I know one of the big challenges with blackworms is often how to harvest easily. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of container do you have them in? It looks fairly shallow.  Do you have any filtration or airlines?  I’d love to set up a black worm culture.
