Thanks Ken, white worms not suitable though.

Not suitable for what exactly? Because I have been feeding my copperband butterfly almost exclusively white worms for a year and half.

All my fish love these and eat them as if there is no tomorrow.

Easy to culture, can be easily enriched with Selcon, multiply like crazy and all it takes is a bit of earth and a bit of food.

Here is the copperband feeding on white worms:

This is what saved my copperband which was extremely small and skinny when I first got it.

Perfectly suitable for your use and many others' uses, just not suitable for my particular use. :)

Do you have any info on how you cultured them because I am looking into this and cannot find any source in my area nor any way to culture them. It is said to leave them in clear water in the fridg, so I am guessing they need very cold water? How did you manage to raise them in paper if they need to be kept in water?

I already raise white worms and I love the fresh live food but I would like to vary things a bit.

The way I did it was grow them with brown paper towel + fish food....They reproduced fast enough that way to sustain both my FW and SW fish.
