killifan Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 what makes the top of my whiteworm cilture go slimy? I'm guessing something went off, but I was able to save a reasonable amount from the soil further down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Prolly too hot, they do not like too high a temp. Don't keep them in a fish room. Lack of oxygen will bowl them too Also if they are too wet, just need to be kept damp. Don't overfeed them, only what they can eat in a day Too small a container, I use a washing machine bowl.

Ira Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Mine are usually quite slimy, but the whiteworms seem happy. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about keeping them cool this summer though. I've got them outside in the shade in a white insulated container, hopefully that'll be enough.
