They probably would like to be warmer - like in the upper 60s. I set up
a refugium in a tote tub with water circulated out of my community tank
for natives. You are kind of on the right track with the maple leaves
and fish foods just too cold - that would be fine if you were trying to
store them but not for culturing. Just be careful you don't ley them get
too warm either as they will expire .
According to the article in TFH back in the late 1980s these worms are
easy to culture once you provide the right conditions - I'm a bit tired
getting off night shift- will post a more detailed description of my
setup later
