Setup and usage tips
- Set up the culture pot with the supplied natural substrate.

- Keep your culture going for a long time with the ZollaBox Poisson S refill (without having to buy another kit).
FAQ - ZollaBox Poisson S
When can I harvest the first Grindal worms?
Generally 3 weeks to a month, while the culture becomes established. After that, harvesting is continuous.
Which fish benefit the most?
All small tropical fish (guppies, dwarf tetras, killifish, bettas) and fry after the micro-worm stage. Corydoras love anything worm-shaped (worm-like prey).
What is the difference compared with daphnia or micro worms?
Grindal worms are meatier and highly palatable; they complement daphnia perfectly and allow you to vary the menu. Larger than micro worms, they are the next step in feeding fry.
How long does the culture last?
Indefinitely, provided you maintain hygiene, feed moderately, and use refills when the supplied food runs out.
Suitable for nano-aquariums?
Yes: small portions for small fish, with no pollution if feeding is reasonable.
