Yes, it is interesting. Heck, I didn't know they were different kinds of nightcrawlers. I scanned over the website, but I couldn't find a price for them. I'll bet these things are huge. One may have to chop em up for Discus.

I use Europeans and yes there bigger then red wigglers, but both need cut up to feed so not a big deal.
My discus love them and were never that crazy about red wigglers.
I get mine from Acme worm farm.

Thanks guys, Doug, with my red wrigglers, get lotsa very young ones that are small enough to feed without chopping.....unfortunately due to my neglect, my culture crashed & I'm waiting for my new one to mature....do you get these smaller younger ones with the europeans?..I really am interested to start these too now.....
& Darrell, I couldn't find a price either, & was disappointed that he didn't answer my question....C'est la vie....

I have tons of little baby's but I let them grow out for egg layers
From what I have read and seen you get up to 20 worms from a egg,
There are places that sell the worm eggs and thus you would have all baby's
I did not get a lot of baby's from my order but im sure most that sell them would sell baby's.
