I don't know how many people raise their own White Worms but it's easy to do. The main thing is finding a cool place to keep them. My basement works just fine. The first picture shows what I feed to the fish every 3 days. The second picture shows the White Worms on top of the soil. They don't seem to borrow into the soil itself. The third picture shows how I feed the baby cereal. In 24 hours the box will look like picture 2.

Would you say these are easier than grindals?I culture grindals for my bettas,and was thinking of whiteworms too.

Never raised Grindals so I wouldn't know. White Worms are not hard to raise if you have a cool place to do it. I would have to do a search but I think it has to be below 65 F. If you are interested I can do a more detailed description of how to do it.

I got my culture from Angels Plus for $5.50, it's now $6.50. That includes shipping. They send a golf ball size of dirt with the worms. I did a review on Angels Plus on 5/21/2011 so you can see in the second picture how the culture grew. You would think they are shipping fine crystal the way they pack it. Like I said above they don't like warmth so you might watch the weather for a cool spell before you order them.

Did a search on how to raise Grindals. Looks to be exactly like what you would do to raise White Worms only the Grindals are about half the size of a White Worm. Think I'm going to look into that because right now I have to chop up the White Worms to make sure the Rasboras and other small fish can handle them.
