Banana worms? I never heard that name before. Could you please educate me?

Banana worms are just a variety of nematode worm like micro worms. I used to culture 3 different types of worms because they are different in size;

1. Micro worms – the classic nematode worm. I think these are the smallest of the three.

2. Walter worms – slightly fatter than micro worms, reported to sink slower so fry have more exposure time to food source.

3. Banana worms – in my opinion the largest of the three. I feed these guys to fry and adults as well.

I did an article about culturing nematodes on the TFH site, guess I should get busy and put one on this site as well!

Thank you for the education Dennis, I appreciate the information.

I have cultured both Micro and Walter worms in the past. Looks like I need to get a starter culture again because all my cultures crashed. Shame on me……lack of care during the summer! :oops:
