Guide to Handling Tubifex Worms Parcel

Important Reminder

The Tubifex Worms Parcel you receive includes live worms embedded in black composted mud—a nutrient-rich medium that supports their survival during transit. The mud may emit an odor but it plays a vital role in preserving worm health. Attempting to ship worms without mud is not advisable, as clean worms cannot survive more than six hours without this substrate.

Open Immediately Upon Arrival

• As soon as the parcel arrives, open the double-layered plastic bags to provide air circulation.

• Pour both the mud and worms into a styrofoam box and cover it to maintain a dark environment.

• Within a few hours, worms will naturally crawl to the surface, making them easier to collect.

• 

Cleaning the Worms

• Rinse the worms under a strong water flow to remove mud and debris.

• Alternatively, use a fine mesh net and run clean water through to separate the worms from the mud without damaging them.

• 

Culturing the Worms

• Set up a slow-flow water system—a small water pump or air pump works well to maintain water circulation.

• Place worms in this system to recreate a stable, oxygenated environment conducive to worm culture and health.

• 

Preparing Worm Food

• Combine fish pellets with EM4 and water, then let the mixture ferment for 24–28 hours.

• After fermentation, turn off the pump and pour the mixture into the worm culture system.

• Allow worms to feed without water flow for 5–6 hours or about half a day.

• This ensures the worms absorb nutrients effectively from the fermented food.

• 

Aftercare & Observation

• Monitor worm activity daily. Healthy worms will remain active, moving freely in the environment.

• Clean the container periodically and replenish food and water as needed.

• Use composted mud or similar substrates for ongoing culture maintenance.

FAQs

How soon must I open the parcel after it arrives?
Open the package immediately upon arrival to ensure proper airflow and worm survival.

Can I store the worms in water immediately?
Not right away. Let them surface naturally, then rinse before placing in a culture tank.

What if the worms don’t surface within a few hours?
Check that the styrofoam box has enough air and darkness. If they’re delayed, gently agitate the mud.

How often should I clean the culture tank?
Typically every few days, depending on waste accumulation. Watch for water clarity.

Do I need EM4 to feed worms?
EM4 helps ferment feed and enhance nutrition, but plain pellet fermentation works in a pinch.

What’s the refund policy if worms arrive dead?
