Thread: California Blackworm odd occurrence

  1. #1

    Default California Blackworm odd occurrence

    So, i've read online that wild-caught specimens of California Blackworms can be up to 4 inches long, & 1.5 MM in diameter...
    I have been keeping a colony of them in a 20 gallon aquarium for 6 months now and while collecting some for Betty (a female Banjo Catfish), I found a 4 inch long one that wasn't there when i started out with a quarter-pound of them. (At least, I think it is one.)


    ...Now I just have to figure out how to post an image of it on here.

    Here is a link to the photo I took after isolating it into what used to be the container my Glo-betta came in:

    (It should automatically download the photo, but I couldn't figure out any other way to link the photo since Im using a phone).

    Blackworms grown in a large aquarium can grow up to 4' long (yes, that's 48").
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    Hi DaguppyBreeda123, your google link does not work. Google wants you to create an account using the link.

    I have bought both Ca and Australian blackworms. Both sources are breed domestically. I prefer Australian blackworms because they are harvested when the worms are smaller and the fish seem to prefer the smaller worms.
