Want to breed Tubiflix Worms

[vaisal]

Can anyone help me with the breeding procedure or suggest any site which deals in the breeding of Tubiflix worms?

I don't know much about breeding tubifex worms but I have read they might not be the best food to feed your fish. Some say they are responsible for a lot of instentin diseases. But there is a mailing list that has people who have a lot of knowledge about raising all kinds of live foods this is at http://fins.actwin.com/live-foods/ . Follow the directions and register and I am sure they can help you. I would go with white worms if I were you they are a terestial worm and thus doesn't have any pathogen diseases like tubifex do and they are much more easy to culture.

no you don't want to breed tubiflex worms.

That details breeding most of the things that should be fed to fish.

Instead, you want to breed California blackworms, Lumbriculus. Look at culturing instructions at www.skepticalaquarist.com and links (folder "Live Food") and see if it's do-able for you.

I remember reading an article about keeping tubifex or other coldwater foods for long periods of time. What they did was rigged a container for the worms in their toilet tank so that every time they flushed the toilet it also cycled the water in the container. I believe that Tubifex lives off excrement (that's pooh for the rest of you) so I don't think this would be the best choice.
