LMK if white worms will work.

Bob, she has white worms now, but would like to have both going.....grindals usually better for smaller fry......don't white worms have a higher fat content?

Not sure about the fat content. I raise the white worms in deli-containers. When I collect them there are plenty of small baby worms about the same size as grindals, so I don't keep both types.

In my experience, yes. The white worms won't reproduce in any great numbers if not kept in the refridgerator. Grindals are fine at room temps.

None came up for auction last night. I'm going to try to locate some locally to start my own culture. If I find some I'll contact you to send you some if you haven't acquired any by then.
Happy Aquariuming,
