OVAS

18 months after setting up an aquarium for my son, I've got multiple tank syndrome and a bewildered spouse.

Obsessed with planted tanks, walstad method, freshwater deep sand beds, ripariums, and culturing live food.

...which is what drove me to finally stop lurking and ask you all: Got a tubifex or blackworm culture that I could buy/swap for?

Thanks For Reading 🙂

hey Jengo

I dont have any black worm or tubifex culture, but i do have some withe worm and micro worm if it interesse you we can exchange i try to have the more different culture as possible

Hi Ismael! Do your white worms need to stay 20 degrees or cooler?

I've got daphnia and scuds. And ramshorn snails of course.

Hey jengo :)

i think they need to be cooler then 20 degres,but im not sure if they have to.

i keep mine in the fridge...

if its something that interesse you i would be willing to swap some of my worm for some either daphnia or scuds

Live California blackworm has been difficult this year.  I found some in BC. Too expensive as food, but good quality to start a culture. Contact Patrick at

I had a planaria outbreak and lost those cultures:(

I am looking for worm cultures too. Would be interested in white worms or grindals. I do have a fridge, so can accommodate in there.
