Banana Worms

Banana Worms

Size: Medium size between Walter and micro worms, easy for slightly larger fry.
Best For: small tetras, guppy fry, platies, endlers, small barbs.

Culturing Instructions
Follow the same steps as for Walter worms:

1. Prepare your culture container and shiny-wet oatmeal or other carbohydrate medium.

2. Add a pinch of active dry yeast on the medium before adding the starter.

3. Add starter banana worms and spread across the medium.

4. Tape a fine cloth over a small vent in the lid for air and pest control.

5. Keep at room temperature. Banana worms usually grow out well and begin producing in about a week.

6. Harvest by swiping the container edges and transferring to tank water for feeding.

Tips:

• Banana worms are sometimes called intermediate nematodes between walter and micro worms.

• Like all nematodes on solid media, they thrive on bacteria and yeast breaking down the food medium.
