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.

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.

Australian Black Worms (aka Tubifex worms) are a natural food that nature provides and are readily taken by aquatic creatures. They make a great high-protein treat for fish, especially fish looking for food with a lot of protein. Our worms are sold in both loose form and in cubes. Clean Food Because the worms are killed and boiled before they are cleaned, they go though the same cleaning and purging process as if they were going to be fed live. They are then frozen in 2.5 kg blocks and loaded into the Cuddens freeze drier. A vacuum pump creates an airless environment by removing all the air from a chamber, then heats it from minus 20C to 50c. Water boiled at 0 degrees Celsius in a vacuum. As frozen worms started to thaw, all moisture turned into vapour that was then refrozen on coils inside the chamber.  The process of freeze drying is a little more complicated then that, but the basis for how it works is this. The important thing about the freeze-drying process is that it removes all moisture from worms without altering their nutritional facts. The whole process from growing, cleaning and processing to produce your final product begins at a facility in order to ensure you get top quality food grade products each time!  Disease-free Australia has very few if any diseases that are transmitted from water to fish, and the area where these black worms live is away from farming and industrial areas. The worm's water used to come straight out of the same supply we drink our drinking water out of up until recently.  Difference between live worms and freeze-dried worms The only difference between the two is that live worms contain water.  Different ways to feed cubes. To get fish to show interest in your freeze-dried worms, put one cube inside the tank halfway down. The fish will then be more inclined to eat it. When they do, try placing another closer to the surface so your pet can grab them easier!    Australian Freeze Dried Black Worms are one of the most nutritious foods for Discus, Corydoras and other fish types as well. This has bio pigment laced through it that is designed for bringing out the red and yellow of the fish. This is a natural colour enhancer made primarily from Carrots. They consist of 45% crude protein and is 8x more condensed then Live Black Worms
