sharieff,
your subject is very intimidating to us hobbyist.
A request will help you get what you are looking for. In fact Vyas has the culture and has given the starter culture to 3 of us hobbyist today.
Regards,
Surya |

 just got my starter culture of meal worms from Mario(Johnnymc-iah id), unfortunately his super worm culture crashed for some unknown reason reason he had thousands the last time I saw him and believe me those worms were huge  ( 1superworm=6 mealworms and another example maximum grown meal worm =20 day old sw baby) |

@ sharieff,
feed them a mix of what I feed my mealworms and used to feed my super worms and the buggers were solid ones -for the bedding a mix of flour like ragi, corn , wheat, etc(mostly get it from ration shop where he will have a mixed sack ,the man will either charge u within the teens for a kg or 2 or if he's your good friend he will give it for free  ) and add 2-6 teaspoons of milk powder to the mix, every week on satuardays change their water source a sliced potato.Trust me if u follow these instruction your meal-worms will be much healthier for your fish cos your raising on the good stuff.+ by using flour it will be easier for u to separate the larger worms from the smaller one by using a sift unlike the oats which is also good, but after experimenting I got better results from the flour mix |
