work? It doesnt! They bloody lazy!

Kidding... You just make an oats mix, drop the culture on there and voila...week later you have millions! Can show you when you collect. Just pm me when you want to come and I'll have it ready for you.

Garethv,

You've just been looking in the wrong places! Remember, these things are tiny, hard to spot. You are welcome to a culture. Let me know when you'd like to collect.

Rgds,

Trevor,

Oh founding father of the MWPS, you have no idea! Its a good year for microworms I tell you. I estimate that at present rates the population with TASA members alone will be exceeding 100 gazillion! Way past your expectations hey! I open the lid to my culture and find them chanting "Trevor! Trevor!" I kid you not, mad things man!

SAMollyBreeder,

You find them... with me or Trevor pleco!

Ok, what is this microworm? Can you feed this to all your fishes?

Micro-worms is tiny fish foods for small fry (baby fishes).
They are minute between .05 to 2 millimeters long and .05 mm in diameter.
You basically need a microscope to see the micro-worms.

I read that microworms can be found in certain soils. It is suggested that one take a potato and make a hole in it, bury it about a foot underground and wait a week, after that you dig it up and find it filled with MW... I tried that once, no luck after 7 days, reburied and never found the potato again...
