Lumbriculus Variegatus

Farm raised quality blackworms which are free from parasites and diseases. Unlike most supplies out there, these are not collected from sewage or from trout-pond waste water.

Our true blackworms (not Tubifex) are an essential part of the successful keeping of many predatoryand Amazonian fish, and in many cases, required for breeding and healthy growth.

Live blackworms are among the most protein-rich and best foods that can be given to many tropical fish. Not only healthy for their "emotional" well being, since eating live foods is what their instincts require, but also irreplaceable due to certain nutrients which cannot be mimicked by dry artificial foods. Also exrtemely important, is that unlike frozen or dry foods,blackwwoms do not die and decay and contribute to poor water quality in your tank.

For many years, the benefits of feeding live worms was outweighed by the cons, namely poor quality stock that was infected with parasites and virulent bacteria. We are happy to now offer these parasite-free premium quality farm raised live blackworms to anywhere in the country.

For dealers and shops, having readily available portions of live foods is a sign of professionalism in the hobby, and a wonderful money maker. For the individual hobbyist, it separates him from novice.

Make sure to keep your black worms cold, and rinse with cool aged (not from the tap) from time to time to wash off debris. You do not need to feed them.

Shipping to your door is $19 for 1 lb, and only $4 for every additional pound. Unlike other dealers, there are no other "packing charges" or hidden fees. For larger orders, write us for pricing.
