It's live white worms. You just need to find someone who has a culture and sell you some to strat you own culture. You put them in moist top soil and feed them with bread soaked in a little milk and to enrich it add Selcon.

They jiggle in the water for hours. I even found some still alive in saltwater after 24 hours, but usualy they get eated really quick.

If nobody sell a culture in your area then it is possible to ship it by mail. In winter it must be done with fast delivery and heat pad as they must not freeze.

They are about one ich long for the adults and can be really tiny for the young ones. I have 3 cultures going as I also feed my other fish and my mandarin on occasion, like once per week.

The copperband eat those as if they were popcorn. I let them soak in water about one hour before feeding so that any dirt inside the worm is flushed and the worm become really clean white.

Were these frozen white worms or live? When I google for info on white worms I get mostly pages talking about how to culture your own.
