ryanjury Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yep setup a daphnia culture or a bucket and chuck some grass clippings in there it will go all manky and bloodworms will grow in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 They should be in there stir up the sluge at the bottom and see whats in that.. There is usually not enough to bother culturing them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 First pic is a small earthworm. The bloodworms being fed in the next two pictures look like they were frozen anyways. As HaNs mentioned it's a lot easier but it's also a lot safer. They thrive in filth and the frozen ones are well cleaned for feeding.

HaNs Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Live one's live in crappy sludge Go look at water that's been sitting for a few weeks and has leaves in the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Live ones live in mine and probably everyones daphnia culture if you not happy feeding the bloodworms then you shouldn't be happy feeding the daphina from your culture.
