Microworms are tiny, non parasitic nematodes. They are approximately 1 mm long and make an excellent choice when feeding live foods to small fish and fry. These tiny creatures are readily accepted by most small adult fish and fry. They provide an ideal source of vital nutrients that are needed for optimal growth. Because they have a ton of nutritional value, around 48% protein and 21% fat, they make a great substitute for baby brine shrimp. Microworms are easy to culture, inexpensive, and are pretty much maintenance free besides periodic sub culturing, if desired. Females mature in about 3 days and deliver live young. This makes them quickly available for harvesting. They require no feeding other than the yeast that is mixed into the medium. Unlike baby brine shrimp, they require no special set up.
Buyer will receive a ziplock bag containing 2+ oz of microworms in an oatmeal based bedding.
