    friend the worm when you receive it you only put a small ball of food
    and as the worm multiplies another ball of food is added
    If you throw a lot of food to the worms,
    the food that they don't eat is damaged and that kills the oxygen of the earth and they die the worms
    I only recommend feeding them as they multiply
    if you buy before 12:30 pm I ship your order the same day from monday to friday
    This listing is for a live
    starter culture
    Grindal worm fish live food.
    When you receive your grindal order, sometimes they cannot be seen because of the cold temperature and transport, they hide in the straw of the coconut, just put a ball of food or two, soak the food for at least 10 minutes and then add it and two to three days go up to eat and have a little patience with the grindal worm
    Grindal worms are a tiny relative of the common earthworm.
    Much larger than microworms but only
    a fourth the size of the harder to keep Whiteworms.
    Grindals are about half an inch long and as big
    around as a piece of thread.
    They make excellent live food for growing fry
    and conditioning breeder adults of smaller species
    such as Guppies, Tetras, Danios and Killifish and more
    They are also greedily eaten by even bigger fish. All
    fish benefit from some live food in their diet.
    Grindals live and reproduce well at normal household
    temperatures,
    take up very little space and are easy to culture.
    Please check your tracking number more often, where is it?
    How To Culture Grindal Worms
    Materials Needed
    Culture Box - small plastic container with lid,
    coconut fiber enough to fill the container to a depth of about one inch.
    I use cat and dog food to feed my grindal worms
    Spray mister bottle - To keep the culture moist
    A Grindal Worm Starter Culture
    Put up to an inch of potting soil into your culture box, give it a good squirting with your mister, wet it
    to about the same moisture content as freshly turned dirt. Punch a few small holes in the lid for
    ventilation. Add your starter culture.
    Feed the worms dog food or cat food, increase this amount as the culture
    grows, but try not to overfeed (leftover food will spoil and fungus) give it another squirt of water to
    moisten the cat food or dog food. As you feed the worms, gradually spread the food out into a larger area of the
    culture as it grows.
    Im using coconut fiber. The coconut fiber is less acidic and is much
    preferred by the worms. Also since the coconut fiber lasts longer without going bad
    In addition you will need a 3”x4” size of mesh( what I use is cross stitch sheets and cut it to size(find this in the crafts and sewing part of Walmart or any craft store))
