    Default How Do I Start A Microworm Culture From Scratch ?

    I have found that all across people use cultures to start anything
    You Tube Videos are named "starting a culture" but no one shows how to begin from scratch with no culture in hand.
    Does any one have a tutorial on how to do this ? ie make a culture !
    Please post or provide a tutorial
    Thanks

    microworms do not spontaneously
    appear out of fermenting oatmeal. I am sorry but
    unlike filter bacteria where if you wait long enough some will show up, you will have to get a small amount of living worms from another source to get them reproducing.
    this small amount of worms is called a starter culture, obtainable from a fellow aquarist or from the internet.

    +1 to the previous posters.

    Ebay & Aquabid are two places you can usually find starter cultures. Aquarists club swaps are another. They are cheap and plentiful.

    They aren't that cheap initially(mostly shipping costs)
    but once you have them and get them going you will have bucketfuls you don't know
    what to do with.
