Lifeisgood Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Does anyone know a way to keep a population of black worms thriving so I don’t have to keep buying them at the LFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I can keep the alive and they even reproduces a little in this 5 gallon bucket setup I use. But my fish eat them mostly quickly than they can reproduce, so I always end up buying more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeisgood Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Do you feed them anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Zucchini, butternut squash, paper towels. They aren't really picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeisgood Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 So you just put them in a bucket with some water in it and feed them basically the same compost like things that I feed to my red wiggler farm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The bucket constantly has cold water dripping into it, and I stir it up and drain it every few days also. Any yes, the worms seem to be omnivores. I think what they eat might be the bacteria that decompose the food I give them. I am not completely sure.
