PLEASE FOLLOW OUR SUGGESTIONS FOR BETTER KEEPING OF BLACK WORMS

HOW TO PREPARE

1. House the black worms (500g) in an area approximately 510mm x 350mm (20”x14”)
2. Half fill with chilled aged water. Frozen drink bottles are an easy way to chill the water
3. At least ONE AIR STONE is required to circulate the water
4. Always have on hand sufficient cool, aged water for frequent water changes/especially in warmer months

WHAT TO DO ON ARRIVAL

1. Pour the worms from the bag into a fine strainer (we suggest a fine fish net). This drains water or fluid present from snipping.
2. Rinse the Black Worms (gentle swirling action by hand) in a container of cool, aged water. Worms will re-clump ready for transfer.
3. Place Black Worms (500g) into a pre-prepared tank. Gently stir the worms with your hand so they loosen up from the clump once again
4. Turn air stones ON – remember good water circulation is needed.

IMPORTANT

Check condition of water every 1-2 hours.  Best to do a 50%-75% water change at this time.

If the water is very dirty or cloudy, repeat water change one or two more times.

DON’T let the water temperature rise above 25C at any time. In warm weather, use frozen drink bottles to cool water. Ideally water temps of 20C or less are the best. Some people even hold them in their fridges over summer.

REMEMBER

1. WATER QUALITY (change daily)
2. TEMPERATURE (under 25C)
3. WATER FREE FROM ANY HEAVY METAL (esp. copper)

These are the 3 vital keys to keeping healthy Black Worms

If you have carried out the above steps, worms’ should keep for up one month.
