My 5 gallon blackworm setup

[Darrell Ward]

The small amount of worms in the tank, as opposed to 2 lbs. plus, probably helps with the initial worm odor as well.

fast93accord,

Neat project. Have you done the math to find out about how many worms you will need to suppost your discus? Keep it up. Keep us posted.

[fast93accord]

No I haven't. I've been feeding 6 discus these worms, so who knows if ill run low before the population grows... If i do ill buy more. A lb is $25 at my lfs...

Failure. Came home last night to see the water clouded and a lot of death...

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for posting a follow up. So many people neglect to do that if things go wrong.

Good bio filtration on these set ups is important.
