Worms for aquarium use only - 2006/08/03 17:09 Thank you all for providing a great site!

Please excuse the newbie type questions. I have been reading a lot on this site and other places.

I am planning to start some indoor bins for breeding worms for my pet store. At first, I plan just to raise them for our use, but if I can get successful, then maybe I will offer them to our customers.

I am not interested in composting or the great benefits of the worm by-products, because the bins will be at my store. I am planning plastic bins with a bedding of shredded paper and a little mix in of topsoil. I plan to feed worm chow to the bins.

I am open to all thoughts on this. Am I thinking correctly with the bedding and feeding? Are there any publications that you would advise me to read that focus on just the breeding aspect. Everything that I have purchased and read focuses on composting and the like.

I am also open to the types of worms. I need smaller worms what we refer to as red worms. In reading, there certainly seems to be different types of red worms!

Thanks again for all the help!
