Their small size and ease of culture has received renewed attention in recent years with rising costs and declining hatch rates of brine shrimp eggs sold in the aquarium hobby. Micro worm has as good if not better nutritional profile to that of brine shrimp, containing 48% protein, 21% lipids, 7% glycogen, 1% organic acids, and 1% nucleic acids. Approximately 70% of the lipids are fatty acids and the remainder is phospholipids.
Micro worms are a tiny nematode about 0.5 to 2.0 mm in length and 0.05 mm in diameter. Males have a curved tail, are smaller, more slender, and less numerous than the females. They reproduce sexually and are livebearers; releasing 10-40 young every 1-2 days for a 20-25 day life span. The young reach sexually maturity in approximately three days. Their size increases by three times during the first day and five to six times during the next three days.
Micro worms are one of the simplest live foods to culture. When cultured under the right conditions they will multiply in vast numbers. They are a valuable live food and tolerant of environmental variables. Micro worms like it warm and a temperature range of between 25 and 28° Celsius is about right. Although they will tolerate cooler and warmer temperatures, they will not increase in numbers as well. They have the added advantage of staying alive for six to eight hours in freshwater, by which time they should all have been eaten.
these are one of the best Fry Foods around,
