Where is a good place to purchase red worms? I am also looking for a white worm source.
Sorry for posting a link that is not working. Anyway, here's a blog that I also found very useful when rasing Red Wiggler worms for my lovely fishes:

Where is a good place to purchase red worms? I am also looking for a white worm source.
I purchased mine on Amazon.com. $27.99 with free shipping and no tax. I had a good experience with my purchase.
For red wigglers.......try Uncle Jim worm farm or Aquabid for white worms ,micro worms,banana worms etc

I just received an order from 'uncle jim'; unfortunately, there was a cut in the bag they came in, so many had escaped to the box and became dry toothpicks...sure is fun to watch my f1 Tefe's pull on 'em!.....Gary

Just tried some and they loved them! I forgot to cut them up in smaller pieces so it took them alot longer to eat them but they are much cleaner than beefheart. Is the red wigglers nutritional value any good though?
pretty hard to beat mother nature!....I have no data, but I would guess that the nutrient content of the worms is high relative to fish...

What size red wigglers are you guys feeding? I have been feeding the thinner ones at an inch to about three inches. The larger discus have no problem eating these and the smaller discus (3.5 in or so) seem to have a much harder time. My worm bins are not producing anything smaller yet.
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
I stopped cutting up worms many years ago, so I feed 'em whatever they'll chew up..They like the smaller ones, but will play tug 'o war with the bigger ones until someone gets excited enough to swallow them....They really like the toothpick sized ones....had a ram pulling on one end, and a huge Heckel on the other..funny to watch, but no doubt who got the worm!

Gary, you ever have a worm get stuck where the fish has eaten the worm but there is still part hanging out of the fishes mouth?
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Only for a second, then they chewed the rest up....once in a while, I throw in a small nightcrawler that they can't eat, just for sport, like rugby!..then I remove it before it becomes pollution..
