black worms....

[Antwan]

I'd like to know, how do you get black worms? Do you have to grow them or buy them? How do you grow them or where do you buy them? I want some, will you help me out?

I buy them . . . live. Check the LFS in your area. If there is a place that specializes in Bettas, likely they will have them live. There are frozen black worms as well. Might be an easier substitute to get.

I buy them live for like $1.00 a pint or some other small measurement. I keep them in a fridge and clean them once a day or everyother day. They are just kept in a little tupperware with airholes stuck in with a small knife. Also the dead ones are usually white or light pink it seems in my case. Also they love to live in your gravel it seems. Once i overfed a little and i had my own culture started with the fish eating them on every water change. In the soil they also seem to turn a lighter color.

And RevFred, I always try to find answers before I ask the questions. And oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I need the black worms alive. Theres only 2 lfs in my city and only one sells black worms, frozen, and I know the other doesn't because I work there. I was just wondering if theirs any online stores that sell live cultures or something.
