Question

Are tubifex and microworms same?

Community Answer

No, they are not the same. Microworms are long and small. Tubifex are long, but they eat fish and other food to grow.

Depends on the type of fish. Bettas should be able to eat microworms after the first 3 days. Mosquito fish can eat them at 1 day old.

I ordered live microworms. How do I store them?

Keep them in a room temperature dirt container and put them in a very small amount of water, along with dirt, to dampen the dirt.
