    I emailed them Sunday and got a reply today. They said they are not shipping until after Chirstmas at this point.

    Aquaticfooods cannot fill my order for frozen California blackworms for 4 to 6 weeks. Has anyone had any experience with the other California blackworm grower, Ken's Fish.com?

    Hi Sheila
    As Jenna was saying, there are only two Blackworm Farms in the USA, both here in California, three in the World.
    We supply Ken and have had to put him on hold also due to the Shortage. In fact we're the only one who offers them in Flash Frozen.

    We'll be back at it in apx 4 weeks or so.

    Hey Shelia my friend you can get white worms and red wrigglers to grow yourself in the mean time, i came here to pick up some live black worms myself for a lovely treat - but white worms and red wrigglers make ACE food , get them off aqua bid or someone here maybe lots of info on how to do it !

    while your waiting for your lovely black worms

    When you say black worms, these are not the frozen blood worms I use?

    I'm getting ready to order my first CBWs and was wondering how much to order. By comparison feeding - 1lb FBloodWs = x lbs +/- CBWs?

    My order of freeze dried blackworms came in yesterday. My discus (and cleanup crew) can't get enough of these. I got the cubes, and there's hardly any that will reach the bottom of the tank. It even got my last hold-out on eating (my discus were shipped 3 weeks ago) to finally take a couple mouthfulls! There's hardly any mess, I love that I don't have to store them in my freezer, and I love that my fish love them. So happy.

    I have been keeping my cbw in a 29g tank with a sponge filter and little gravel on the bottom. I feed them shrimp pellets every other day, and change half the water once a week. When I first receive the worms I change the water in the tank everyday to clean them out and wont start feeding them to my discus till the water stays clean in the tank. I have been feeding them to my discus for just under a year with no issues.

    Can I ask if they are multiplying or just surviving, I have sent an email to several US companies as I cant get live ones in the UK, would like to start a culture if possible so any help would be great thanks.
