LIVE BLACK WORMS
What are Black Worms?
Live Black Worms is a species called Lumbriculus variegatus and come from very cool climates in shallow-water marshes, ponds, and swamps, feeding on microorganisms and organic material.
Where are Black Worms from?
Live Black Worms originated from North America and Europe. However, we get our worms fresh from Victoria.
How often do you have Live Black Worms?
We get our worms usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday of the week. We usually get around 1-2kg of Live Black Worms. This is why when you purchase our worms they are always fresh
What do you mean by 30mL or 1L? Does that include water?
When we write 30mL or 1L that is the volume of worms you get. We send our worms with as little water in the bag as possible. The reason why we don’t send it with water is that the water gets dirty very quickly with Ammonia.
Where do black worms live?
These are harvested from clean water that gets its water from the Victorian Alps
Vineyards and other crop-thirsty plants also are grown in the area.
How do you keep black worms alive?
Black worms need fast-moving water to keep them alive. We recommend that you use a sponge filter for smaller amounts. Larger amounts would require you to use a sump filter.
Can you breed black worms?
Black worms can breed readily in an aquarium setting. They breed in two ways.
The first is asexual where they rub off hard surfaces and ‘break off.’ When they do, the head will grow a tail and the tail a head. The other way they breed is via eggs. However, we have discovered that egg produced by black worms is quite minimal.
It should be considered that if you wish to produce live black worms economically you do need readily available water and high-protein food. But ultimately growing black worms is uneconomical for a home hobbyist and we encourage you to consider (to save time) getting it from Nano Tanks.
Are black worms harmful to humans?
Black worms are not harmful to humans if you touch them. However, if you suffer from dermatitis or other skin conditions it is known that black worms will cause a reaction to your skin. To avoid such contact we advise that you use gloves for this very purpose.
Naturally, there are bacteria and other worms, leaf leaches and etc that come with the worms. These are grown naturally with the worms and should not harm humans. As a rule, however, it is advisable that you wash your hands thoroughly with a properly antibacterial agent.
How do you send your black worms?
When we send these worms, they need to be kept cold with ice. Please be aware of your ambient temperature and that the heat will kill them.
We only will send this via Toll Priority/ Australia Post Express Post Service please make sure you select the Live Fish Shipping option

Carbon Planting Scissors Wave is a patented carbon-planting technology that uses special scissors-shaped tools to plant seeds in soil. The scissor-shaped tool is designed to penetrate soil, creating a narrow slit in the soil where a seed can be placed. The tool is then used to form a wave-like pattern in the soil, creating a pocket around the seed so that water and nutrients can reach it easily. This technology is used to help farmers and gardeners plant seeds in areas with difficult soil conditions and can help increase the rate of survival for the planted seed.
Carbon planting tweezers are a type of tweezers made from carbon steel and designed for planting and harvesting plants, flowers, and herbs. They come in two varieties: straight and curved. The straight tweezers have a straight, thin, sharp edge that is perfect for precision planting and harvesting. The curved tweezers have a curved shape that provides better leverage and control when planting and harvesting, making it easier to work with a variety of plants and herbs. Both types of tweezers are made of a durable carbon steel material that ensures a long lasting, rust-resistant tool that will last for many years.

Chihiros’ WRGB II is a series of LED systems, serving the full-color gamut of aquatic plants with its optimized LED design of different colours. It is particularly suitable for aquariums densely planted in need of intense light. The WRGB 2 makes the colours red, green, and blue shine with special intensity. With relatively low power consumption, different variations illuminate the Aquarium complete with a high beam angle and suite aquarium sizes from 30 to 140 cm in length.
The lighting system is programmed directly through the “My Chihiros App” and requires no additional commands, which makes a notable difference to the LED WRGB I series. The app offers individual control over the three “R” colour channels ( red), “G” (green), and “B” (blue), as well as individually programmable daily phases. Sunrise and sunset can also be imitated. No need for an external timer because all schedules can be saved as desired. The new Led display Chihiros WRGD 2 Is waiting for you.

The blacktop corydoras (Corydoras acutus) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the Amazon River basin in Ecuador and Northern Peru. It was described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1872.
The fish will grow in length up to 1.7 inches (4.4 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2–25 dGH, and a temperature range of 77–83 °F (25–28 °C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2–4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.
The blacktop corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.

Crushed Coral is a highly effective, natural calcareous substrate designed for one primary purpose: to buffer aquarium water. Sourced from natural coral skeletons, it steadily releases calcium carbonate to maintain consistently alkaline pH levels and increase general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH). This makes it an essential filtration media for freshwater systems to buffer water, but can also be used for saltwater, reef, and African cichlid aquariums, where stable, hard water is non-negotiable for the health and survival of aquatic life.
Key Benefits:
Stabilizes Water Chemistry: Naturally buffers pH to maintain consistently alkaline conditions, preventing harmful crashes and providing essential mineral content for hard water species.
Promotes Vital Health: The gradual release of calcium carbonate is crucial for strong skeletal growth in corals and invertebrates, and for healthy shell development in mollusks.
Superior Filtration Support: Its coarse, irregular texture prevents compaction, facilitates optimal water flow through the substrate bed, and provides a massive surface area for colonizing beneficial denitrifying bacteria.
Eco-Conscious & Sustainable: Responsibly sourced to ensure the protection of vital reef ecosystems, allowing you to build a beautiful aquarium with a clear conscience.
Unmatched Natural Aesthetics: Delivers the bright, reflective look of a tropical seabed or rocky lake shore, providing an authentic and visually stunning environment for your fish.
Ideal For:
All tanks requiring elevated pH and GH/KH
Reef Tanks & Marine Aquariums
African Cichlid & Rift Lake Biotopes
How to Use:
Rinse Thoroughly: Gently rinse the substrate in fresh water until runoff is clear to remove any dust.
Determine Depth: A 1-2 inch layer is standard for most aquariums. Use a deeper bed (2-3 inches) if using with an undergravel filtration system.
Place in Tank: Add the clean substrate directly to the bottom of your empty aquarium to form the base layer of your aquascape.
Mesh bags are sold separately
