Blackworms - Lumbriculus variegatus 90ml - NatureHolic Live Food

Shiner worms (Lumbriculus variegatus) belong to the group of few crayfish. They grow to a length of 4-10 cm and are therefore suitable for medium to large fish and of course also for young crayfish, adult crayfish and dwarf crayfish from America, Europe and Australia, crabs and large-armed shrimps. Protein-hungry dwarf shrimp such as Amano shrimp or tiger shrimp also enjoy a shiner worm from time to time.

Shiner worms not only look like earthworms, they are closely related to them. They are also known as blackworms because of their relatively dark color, or Dennerle worm (that because single specimens can sometimes be found in pots of aquatic plants). Shiny worms are relatively rich in content, they do not contain a lot of fiber, but they do contain a relatively high amount of protein and fat. Glossy worms are part of a balanced diet, they are not useful as a sole food.

If you want to feed the shiny worms promptly, store them in the bag in the refrigerator. Larger quantities of luster worms should also be placed in a larger container with a loose-fitting or air-permeable lid in the refrigerator. Remove dead worms as quickly as possible.

Breeding of luster worms can be easily implemented in a small aquarium. Glossy worms like to eat decaying autumn leaves, little toast or oatmeal, spirulina tablets and so on.

Here you can buy live shiny worms / Lumbriculus variegatus in sachets with 90ml content.
