It seems like they're worth it even though they're expensive and take a little work. A tiny worm high in protein would be of great use.
Anyone raise microfex (dero worms)?

I have a friend who is somewhat of a live food expert. He gave me cultures of them on two different occasions, and I'm not exactly sure how, but I managed to screw them up both times. I may try again and ask for coaching, because they are awesome little critters, and the second batch of them I had seemed to be reproducing fairly quickly.

I read a little bit about them in a betta book this morning. The author fed heavily every day and changed 75% of their water once a day. Apparently they need good water quality and lots of food but not too little or the culture crashes from the ones that die-off I guess. That must be why they're tricky.

Ditto; I have tried twice and have not succeeded.

they're much more easier to take care than microworms and less smelly!!!!!!!
My trick was to have daphnia with em- I fed the daphnia an alage wafer to make infusia (spelling) bloom and the daphnia fed off that and the the worms fed off other stuff- it was a dependent relationship with each other- the only trick was to use aged water- I aged my tap water for such like 2 weeks at a time-
Cheers

Are they the same as whiteworms? I've seen those guys cultured those on peat.
