Where to find live blackworms?

Thanks for the help Vic. I may look into culturing them, but for the price and what (now) appears to be a reliable source I may just buy them when I need them. They aren't something I will be needing all the time.

Thedwightguy, Vic is correct, Tubifex and Blackworms are not the same thing. http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/lumbriculus

go white worms, easier to maintain your own cultures.

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.
