I use a pair of small tweezers to pick up a ball of microfex.īased on my experience culturing microfex so far, i've found that the speed of their population growth depends greatly on the amount of food they consume. The majority of microfex will clump up at the bottom of the container anyways, so its quite easy to manage.ĭuring the water change process, i usually take the opportunity to also pick out some microfex to feed my fishes. I usually change 90% of the water every 2-3 days (pouring out the old water through a fine brine shrimp net to catch any free swimming microfex, which i then return back into the container). Maintenance and water changes is simply pouring out the container water (usually when it gets stinky) and then replacing it with clean dechlorinated tap water.
The worms usually finish eating that amount of food within a day. Each time i feed a combination of algae or sinking wafers/pellets equivalent to the mass of the worms. No filter or air stone installed (based on the research document findings) and no substrate added (to make maintaining the container and harvesting the worms easier).įeeding the culture is just a matter of periodically adding fish or shrimp food into the container, the microfex will automatically crawl towards the food and start feeding on it.
