Default Small earthworms as fish food

As a bait shop owner I "THANK YOU" and other aquarists for your business.
Instead of purchasing them in small lots, ask the owner if you can buy a
"FLAT" or a "GALLON" of worms. I have not sold a whole flat if "red worms"
in some time, but for example a dozen nightcrawlers sell for $1.25US in our
store, some get as much as $2.25US. A gallon of nightcrawlers contains 450
to 525 worms. 480 / 12 = 40 dozen. 40 X $2.00 = $80.00 I sell a gallon of
nightcrawlers for $38.00

Easy Math - Keep Supporting Your Local Stores
"PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL STORES"
The Wal-Mart's of the world are bent on putting small businessmen & women
out of business.

IMHO - God Bless

Hi, I have a small freshwater stingray that is going through at least 9

dozen
small earthwroms every 3 weeks (thinks he's a pig instead of a stingray).
Anyway, I need a place online where I can buy them in bulk instead of

going to
the fishing bait shop, as they are becoming a bit expensive that way. Do

any
of you know of a good place online to buy these little guys in bulk?

Thanks so
much

Billy

Try raising then in a work box. They should breed like flies in a good
compost bin. Use redworms.

Get yourself some Red Wrigglers and Tiger Worms and start a worm farm.
It,s not Rocket Science, any one can do it... and the little buggers can
breed quicker
then you can feed them.
