Just feed them UNCOOKED veg scraps and fruit peel, coffee grounds, tea leaves. Don't give them cooked food - the smell will attract pests like cockroaches and rats.

Wow, quite expensive ah... I breed sw a lot cheaper...

Tried... growth rate slow... too wet all die... too dry all dry up... multiply 100 g per month... sianz

Was told by my customers that their rays love the Earth worms. BTW, which type of Ray would you recomend to a newbie. Am thinking of getting one. Or do they need to come in pairs ?

Yes, they are rather expensive - source pretty expensive too.

You can just get the EW to feed your fish occassionally...just get the Earthworms without the worm farm.

Yes, breeding them can be a bit tricky - but you'll get the hang of it in time.

Ya but rays already take up 2 hours a day.... sure the rays will love it but personally spending 10mins a day tending to the worms is not worth the 100g it produces a month.

The worms take up quite a bit of space and the left over food smells as well...

Call me lazy, but I rather buy.

Yes, we need to prioritise our time.... Let me know if you want to buy some.

Not much effort needed to breed them - just keep the worms dark and damp and feed them with veg and fruit scraps.
