Detailed Beginner Feeding & Care Guide

1. Selecting the Right Size

Choosing the correct size ensures safe consumption without risking choking or waste fouling your water parameters. Size S works best for growing cichlids, larger tetras, and medium bottom-feeders that can manage a slender worm segment. Size M is designated for large-mouth predatory specimens that require a substantial, high-energy meal.

2. Handling & Feeding Protocol

When introducing live worms to your aquarium, always feed sparingly to ensure your fish consume everything within a few minutes, preventing excess organic decay in the substrate. For smaller fish, Size S worms can be neatly portioned using clean aquarium scissors. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after handling live bait cultures.

3. Storage & Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your live culture, store the container in a cool, dark environment such as a refrigerator crisper drawer, maintaining temperatures between 36°F and 45°F. Check the bedding moisture weekly; it should feel like a damp sponge. Proper refrigeration keeps the worms dormant, firm, and fresh for weeks.
