Where California Blackworms come from

[dancbw]

In the last few years the Blackworm Farms have dwindled down to two. All Blackworms are farmed by either Aquatic Foods or another California supplier.
Here are some pics of the Blackworm Farm.


The first pic is of our three production ponds

The 2nd is our main harvesting pond. Worms
from the production ponds are moved to the
harvesting pond for 30 days.

This photo is of our cement purging pond.
Here we leave them for 5-7 days in a bare bottom
cement pond. ( no food allowed)

This photo is of our indoor falicity. Here we clean a 2nd and 3rd
time. What you see in this pic are 30 100-120 lb holding
tanks. We hold the cleaned worms here for 7-10 days.
Then transport them to our Airport wharehouse where they
are held and chilled down to 40-45 degrees and then shipped
via Fed Ex or out of Los Angeles airport.

Do most freshwater fish like blackworms? A lb sounds like a lot of worms for someone with a 55 g tank, so I want to make sure my fish are all going to love them!!!

Hi,
All fish will eat California Blackworms even most Saltwater fish.
1-lb is about the same volume as a good old
7-11 20oz coffee cup. Also they will last for weeks and weeks
if taken care of, http://aquaticfoods.com/blackwormcare.html
Ordering is simple. just have to email us what, where and when.

My two cents: my female endlers are big enough to eat blackworms, but the males (which are quite small) have trouble. All my critters love 'em.
