Live enchytraeids (Enchytraeus albidus): rich white worms for adult fish
A live food, simple... and very palatable
Enchytraeids are large white worms (relatives of Grindal worms, but bigger), perfect for adult fish: a few enchytraeids are often enough to satisfy a Betta or a guppy. Easy breeding at cool temperatures, undulating movement that triggers predatory instinct, and excellent nutritional profile.
Why choose enchytraeids?
- Size suitable for adults (larger than Grindal worms).
- Simple and productive breeding at cool temperatures. The ZollaBox Fish L makes it easy to start a small breeding at home.
- Highly palatable live food rich in protein.
- Alternative to industrial foods and an ideal complement to daphnia.
- Sustainable strain with minimal culture maintenance.
Use in natural aquaristics
- Feeding: 2 to 3 times a week in small amounts (it takes little to satisfy a Betta!).
- Conditioning breeders: excellent food to trigger spawning.
- Regular, nutritious live food that fish love.
- Method: collect the worms from the breeding soil, rinse if necessary, then serve immediately.
- Consider the ZollaBox Fish L, which contains everything needed to raise enchytraeids, including a step-by-step guide.
Possible uses
- Community tanks: adult fish (bettas, livebearers, dwarf cichlids...).
- Breeding tanks: alternate with daphnia and Grindal worms to trigger spawning and reproduction.
- Natural aquaristics: a very advantageous replacement for industrial foods.
FAQ - Enchytraeus albidus
No, it is a common misconception due to their white color. In reality, they are very high in protein and moderately lipid-rich. To be used as a natural supplement or regular live food.
Grindal worms are smaller (perfect for juveniles or small fish); enchytraeids are larger and intended exclusively for adult fish.
No, if you have a slightly cool place. The ZollaBox Fish L contains everything needed to start your enchytraeid culture.
In a cool place (ideally 15 to 16 °C), clean and ventilated (basement, garage, cool room). Some use their wine cellar!
For a very long time if fed moderately and if the culture is duplicated at regular intervals.
A special food for enchytraeids is available in the refills for the ZollaBox Fish L.
2 to 3 times per week or more, in small portions to prevent some worms from not being eaten, even though enchytraeids survive quite well in water.
