[@supernaturalbc2008]

Thanks to you, I did a variation on this successfully! I placed a slice of potato I had scored on one side in a container of compost I got from my garden pile. I punched a few holes in the lid, stored the container on the floor of my garage to prevent freezing and waited 3-4 weeks. When the potato started to decompose, I noticed the surface looked slimy. When I checked with a hand lens, I saw the micro worms. Next I scraped the worms off and placed them in some cooked oatmeal. Let them reproduce, then voila! Saved me $12 plus shipping!

I didn't expect this to work, but it did! I buried 5 potato haves partially hallowed out with hole down across my yard (Arkansas) and marked them with white flags, left them for about 6 days, then dumped them into a large jar with oatmeal, yeast, misted with spray bottle. I forgot about them for a couple weeks with a coffee filter lid, and checked expecting nothing, to see it FILLED with micro worms. :D So I'm going to split the mega culture into smaller containers and supplement my betta fry. I red too much microworms causes them not to develop correctly though.

[@KumarKumar-vt8le]

Super demonstration Very clear and simple even I can understand thank you sir, if you know any other type of culture please post in a video.

[@QwertyUiop-ok1dm]

Your video was so great now I can make my own microworm culture

[@nedkiryakov4824]

Nice one! Subscribed ! Btw what do you do when culture is finished? Do I need to do the same thing with the potato again or....?

[@IndraJayaGroup]

You can use the harvest as new starter culture, no need do the potato again.

[@nedkiryakov4824]

Awesome! I 'll definitely give it a try. Thanks a lot!

[@PawanKumar-wn2jk]

Did it work?

[@censusgary]

This is (as far as I know) the original method for starting a microworm culture (make a hole in a potato and bury it in soil outdoors). It’s mentioned in aquarium books from the mid-20th century. Of course, your job is a lot easier if you can get a starter from someone who is already culturing microworms. But if you can’t, do this.

[@csillakaszas7285]

Interesting, but it will have to wait, it is already snowing here. :( I wonder if different climates and soil types have different microworms, or possibly none at all? does potting soil or peat moss contain microworms?

[@sselandono6702]

After watching this video, I am not going to eat Quaker's Oat Meal. I am afraid I will be transformed into a microworm!

[@smj5785]

LoL😂

[@trisix99]

Lol

[@eisvogel8099]

Great idea! Gonna use this to make food for my angelfish fry, thanks a lot

[@MoonshineSunset]

Hi~ how did it go? Did you try it?

[@msmorzina5771]

Like it & do u take any soil from the middle of the pottato?

[@boneboi_amir5235]

So do u have to use the outside soil or just some store bought soil?

[@AlexLopez-un8pt]

He used outside soil

[@daphnia-magna]

It's a great way to find microworms in nature! but for culturing I prefer porridge only (without yeast) and in full light - I've been keeping them for half a year, very productive and easy.

[@torah4ever]

very interesting, i'm just starting my first tropical tank and of course want to feed my fish the best diet possible. Do you just keep the culture in a tub? Inside or out?

[@daphnia-magna]

theantinwofish: I'm very sorry for a terribly belated response, I didn't notice your question in time. I keep the culture in the garden (Wales, UK) and use the culturing method described here: www.tropicalfishforums.co.uk/index.php/topic,163402.0.html

[@richiyanuary5203]

Daphnia magna rice porridge?

[@bri5375]

I cant believe all those years I haven't even seen a damn "plastic glass" 😆 This video is useful though thanks. 👍🔥

[@cuthbertmayo8274]

yo thanks man you save my betta fry....i don't no where to find microworm starter but after seeing your video i can make my own.. great work Dude keep it up!!

[@jesuslopez6578]

Me to

[@randomthings92497]

Is this also grindal worms?

[@sackingsjw55]

These are not grindals. These will never get bigger than they are shown. Tiny wigglers. Great for fry, tetras and small fish. Grindals look like baby earthworms and are larger

[@syedshahulhameed6523]

*Bro.. Potato va na thalageela vaaikyama..kuli thondi ulaka poten bro..microworms varuma*

[@saitamasaitamas7271]

is it possible to keep the microworm culture in 1 container for a month ? like after the harvest you will put some yeast or oatmeal again on the same container. does the microworm culture grow? or its good for 1 harvest .

[@emanuelepegoraro4083]

How long can you keep the same culture in the same jar without doing anything? Which is the lowest and higher temperature?

[@cactuslyrics9883]

your videos are so satisfying to watch

[@rosethorne2854]

Thank you so much. I'm a begining Betta breeder and this was amazingly simple. To bad i didn't find it sooner

[@boneboi_amir5235]

So it works?

[@erikpratama320]

Can i change the oatmeals with bread slice? I see someone doing it with breads and milk,but i havent oatmeal and milk Dont ask me for buying it btw,im on a crysis now😭 Thanks

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I never knew you could raise these. I have a Betta inside and goldfish outside. I was looking for live foods for them all and found your video. I can't wait to try.

[@ashlynwanderer]

heather vestal how can we be sure that they won’t carry parasites?

[@mushroom4978]

How come you have scraped a moist rotten potato and you putting in your grow media a starter which looks as some kind of green powder....?

[@homicidal85]

thanks for telling us it smells gross. will look for an alternative :p

[@Trauma09]

title: Microworm culture without starter 4:16: now add starter into each container

[@blind486]

simple logic, he made his own starter that's what he meant on his video title.

[@kay8163]

How to know if my potato went bad after the 1 week bury? And can I still use it?

[@ghadasalem2191]

A put my potato in the soil for a week and mines still hard but I don’t know if it works I found in the middle something crawling not worms but very little white and small like dots should I still complete the process?

[@jack_sparrow_edit]

how many days must the potato be placed inside the soil

[@Luculencia]

Thank you so much for this! The fish shops near me don't sell live cultures so it's hard for me to find food for fry :)

[@IndraJayaGroup]

+Luculencia you're welcome, that same, just like my chase. so i decide to experiment and try to make it by myself :D

[@trimind10]

Quick question: I saw the starter in the video, but what is the starter? And where can I get it? I mixed all of the others as per your instruction though apart from the stater.

[@IndraJayaGroup]

+trimind10 If you watch from the first. you will know how to get starter from rotten potato.

[@trimind10]

Got it! Thank you!

[@onlypets4363]

Instead of oats meal can I use bread or wheat flour ?? Tell me quick plzz

[@SajSajidmk]

Yes

[@JasonLofranco]

tnx it help me a lot in culturing micro worm

[@andrydelacruz8779]

did it work??

[@khatarnakgamer2738]

Today my betta fish have nested eggs my question is that Male betta fish is taking care of eggs should i feed male betta food or no today ???

[@taniksambo1969]

so there is only microworm in the potato? would there be any other form of worms or bugs that may get in there as well?

[@naqibramli8655]

no. the microworms might came from the soil.. he plant the potato back in the soil so that the microworms go to the potato and use it as a starter

[@aryashrestha6828]

what if you see springtails on your potato? will you still get microworms??

[@quinmallory]

I've seen this comment in the list but no real answer, how do you know your not getting anything harmful to the fish?

[@daphnia-magna]

quinmallory: It is a good question. I thought a lot about that too. As far as I understand, fish parasites can only be brought from other aquariums or those natural rivers and ponds, which are inhabited by wild fish. Terrestrial things should be harmless.

[@Baitangina]

quinmallory if you feed too much microworm they wont grow ventral fins. Thats the problem on feeding m.worms on bettas.

[@abbystevens5693]

@@Baitangina in earth outside you ll also will get tapeworms incl. eggs of them..and those will harm you and your fishes.Deadly to humans and fishes

Hi Indra would this method with the potato work in a all purpose compost bag as i dont have a garden

[@kenman1543]

just curious if i can use flavored/sweetened oatmeal? and do i need to use activated yeast or any types of yeast will do?

[@IndraJayaGroup]

+Ken MAN I think it will didn't work because sweetened oatmeal vs yeast will produce co2 that can kill microworm. I suggest use oat meal without any flavour & for the yeast i use "common dry yeast"

[@kenman1543]

thanks man, no wonder my previous cultures die.

[@kenman1543]

so a week has past and dug the potato. and i don't see any worms in the potato, is that a fail? or the worms will spawn after you culture them?

+vipin chandran yes you can use bread (original) without any flavour (jam or anything) or you can use mashed potatoes & flour

[@vipinchandran6935]

Indra Jaya mashed potatoes and flour together... or like oats , simply flour and hot water.. only and also by flour u meant wheat flour right

[@IndraJayaGroup]

+vipin chandran yes wheat flour. If use flour you don't need hot water (use room temp water) & don't mix dry yeast with the dough (just sprinkle on the top of it)

Weat husk or weat any kinda of carbs

[@lonewolf8146]

Can we feed the starter from potato to betta fry

[@IndraJayaGroup]

No, you can't. Because the starter is very stinky and maybe can break down the water parameters... You need to culture it in culture media and then harvest the worm that crawl out from the culture media ... It safer I think ...
