Hi guys.
Lay it on me, Tell me everything I need to know to sucessfully culture my own black worms, whether it is do-able or I will be wasting my time. Basically I want to check out it's feesibility. I have read everything that search has found for me on Simply but I have more questions. There is some good info from DPH:

but it doesn't mention what temperatures? I know you need to keep them real cold to keep them alive but what about for breeding purposes? filtration? All they mention is constant airation. Surely they will do better with filtration or water changes (hehe bad habit). I basically want enough worms to feed about 8 juveniles 3-4 times a day with lots of black worms.
Sources for worms here in Australia is mysterious and a taboo subject amongst the poeple who sell them (to me it sounds like that). If Dan wants to ship his californian black worms over to Australia every week at the same prices offered to US customers I would be more than happy to take a year long subscription! ;D Unforntunately we are waaay down here...
Thanks! I really appreciate any info!
