Whiteworms a're larger than grindalbut otherwise similar, and

peat cultures in the same way although larger containers are

such as plastic seed trays. The cultures should be keptin a
warm but not hot place and should be damp and dark. The most -
convenient food is simply a piece of wet bread and if other conditions
are correct this will be all that is needed. Many aquarists usePorridge,

is that they tend to become populated with other creatures as well
