Red Wigglers

Are those Red Wigglers ( in my country we call them differently )

I have been talking with a friend about red wigglers vs common earthworms. Basicly you'd need an expert to identify the worm. If your just going to feed them to your fish you can just collect the small ones, purge and feed. But keeping a culture is a different story. Earthworms need ALOT of soil and need a much deeper bin to be able to keep. RW's can be kept in a few inches of soil and will be fine.

Other names I've heard for Red Wigglers are manure worms, compost worms.

Hard to tell with just the pics, the 3rd pic shows banding similar to the red wigglers I keep. Compare the worms you have with the photo gallery here:

Red Wrigglers is a generic name, in the UK they are known as brandling worms, the one in pic #3 above looks like a brandling. Either way it doesn't matter, nutritionally any earthworm or compost worm is an excellent source of nutrition with readily digetsable proteins. Just make sure no nasty chemicals are used in teh compost they come from.
