Special micro worms substrate - 50 ml refill: clean, nutritious, and low odor breeding
What is it?
A dry powder to rehydrate (50 ml substrate + 25 ml water → paste ready to inoculate) to cultivate highly palatable and nutritious micro worms for your fry. Formulated to be clean, low odor, and nutritious (with spirulina to enrich nutritional value and reduce odors). Quantity adapted to "margarine-type" boxes with pierced lid.
To produce micro worms in quantity and provide suitable live food daily to your fry.
Why use this substrate/food in a micro worms breeding?
- Simplified start and very productive cultures.
- Low odors thanks to the spirulina-based formula.
- Ideal texture for micro worms to quickly climb the walls (easy and clean harvest).
- More reliable than homemade recipes (bread, yeast, puree...): better stability and hygiene.
- Economical: 50 ml covers 3 to 4 weeks of culture.
Who is this substrate for?
- Aquarists looking for very small live food for fry. For example, a guppy fry can feed on micro worms from the first day.
- Aquarists tired of smelly and sanitary suspicious homemade preparations.
- Breeders seeking a regular, year-round production of micro worms. 12 refills are enough to maintain a culture for one year.
- Educational projects around live microfauna.
- Users wanting a clean and reliable solution rather than a homemade recipe often very smelly.
Preparation and usage tips
- Rehydration: mix 50 ml of powder with 25 ml of water to obtain a homogeneous paste.
- Inoculation: place the strain (or a few drops of the old culture) on the surface. Close with a pierced lid.
- Waiting: in a few days, millions of micro worms cover the substrate surface, then climb the walls.
- Harvest: with a brush or knife blade. Distribute immediately to fry. No need to clean the micro worms.
- Duration: one refill lasts 3 to 4 weeks (especially depending on temperature).
- Storage (unopened): keep dry, closed, protected from moisture.
For more convenience, you can also choose the ZollaBox baby, which contains all the necessary equipment, the strain, the substrate, and a complete manual.
