Depends on the size of the culture. When I start a new batch with fresh soil, I only add a little water to the for the first time. Overtime the soil will get soggier and wetter despite not adding water to the soil. The worms will be more interesting in escaping the container than eating.how often do you need to change the dirt to fresh, and the best way of doing so. I've had my culture going at least a month. Maybe 6 weeks.
First, I’m not a nutrition expert.question nutritionally speaking if the Greek enough for reef fish?
You can do so.I was thinkingto add some dried yeast flakes I have to the mix
It’s normal. I get that same response as well. They will eventually start eating again.Thanks to the generosity of a member on here I was given a culture of white worms two months ago and it was doing great. I was harvesting worms from it each day to feed my stubborn copperband. About a week ago I noticed the worms wouldn't eat the food and were climbing up the sides, which I believe is a sign to split the culture. So I split the culture among two new containers and added new dirt to the original culture. Since splitting the culture I don’t see any interest in eating from any of the cultures. I can still see the worms moving in the dirt but they don’t come up and eat.
Do I just need to be more patient or is there something else I should try?
Thanks. I wasn’t sure if it took a while before they started eating again.It’s normal. I get that same response as well. They will eventually start eating again.
How long has it been since splitting them?Thanks. I wasn’t sure if it took a while before they started eating again.
Not quite a weekHow long has it been since splitting them?
Same here.Not quite a week
It’s a mix of dry food that I was given with the culture. I think I t’s blended up cheerios, cat food, and baby rice cereal. He said that was what he had the best luck with.Same here.
Just curious, what are you feeding them?
Try changing the food. I changed mine and it seemed to be the kickstarter in getting them eating again.It’s a mix of dry food that I was given with the culture. I think I t’s blended up cheerios, cat food, and baby rice cereal. He said that was what he had the best luck with.
I had a culture a few years back that I fed wheat bread with full fat yogurt and yeast. They ate that well, but I haven’t tried it with this culture.
Some of the worms were starting to eat again from the original culture yesterday. I will try a different food one one of the splits once I make it to the store to pick up wheat bread and yogurt.Try changing the food. I changed mine and it seemed to be the kickstarter in getting them eating again.
Thank you! I’m glad people are getting good results with the yogurt! That makes me so happy!I just wanted to pass on my anecdotal findings.
Greek yogurt has been working great! But when I was shopping the store was out of greek, so I bought full fat regular...
My cultures seem to be multiplying even more! I have no idea if it is the yogurt or not, or some other variable, but I thought I'd pass on the info
Thank you so much for your kind words!Big shout out to @Miami Reef for hooking me up with a starter culture for myself! I have been trying for months now to get a culture but every one else has failed me. Can't wait to start feeding my fish these little bundles of nutrition!
Thank you!!!
