In addition to tropical fish, Black Worms are a nutritious and fufilling food for various other aquatic life forms, including newts, aquatic salamanders, baby turtles and tadpoles.
There are many important reasons to choose Live Blackworms for your fish instead of frozen and machine prepared foods. Live foods are the truly perfect nutritional source for your tropical fish.
-
Our Live Blackworms are small enough for all tropical fish to devour them
-
The uneaten worms will not die and decay in your aquarium gravel bed and filtration system.
-
Our Live Blackworms are raised in controlled conditions with no fish (unlike some other farms) and are free of parasites and bacteria.
-
We use a high protein manufactured feed superior to most other feeds along with an advanced reproduction environment.
These Live Blackworms are teeming with nutrition. Your tropical fish will quickly show the health that nature intended for them when you include live foods in their diet.
Live Blackworms provide the most excellent source of protein, and are extremely useful as a conditioning food for breeding preparation.
You have selected one of the best tropical fish foods available. You will find that your fish will be healthier and maintain their true colors. Our Blackworms are the perfect food for conditioning new tropical fish and breeding tropicals.
Upon the arrival of your Blackworms thoroughly rinse them with AGED PRE CHILLED WATER (40-50 degrees) until their run off water is clear and clean. When placing them in your live Blackworm keeper or other container make sure that your worms are no thicker then 1/2 inch. If they are thicker they may suffocate or try to escape from their container. Keep no more then 1/2 inch of water above them, and do not cover their container they need to be able to breath.
Keep your Blackworms in the refrigerator. They need to be kept between 40-55 degrees. Do not keep them in an aquarium, outside boxes, basements etc.
To keep your worms fresh they should be rinsed at least once a day. Use only AGED PRE CHILLED WATER when rinsing. Do not use aquarium water, or room temperature water. Only cold 40-50 degree water.
You do not have to feed your worms, they will live off their own body weight. However the longer they are kept they will lose weight. Weekly orders are suggested to insure freshness. Uneaten worms will not foul your aquarium, but do feed according to your fish and aquarium size.

I’ve been a repeat customer of Eastern Aquatics’ blackworms for about 2 years. Not only is the quality, heath and viability of the worms excellent, the customer service, ethics and communication of the owner is beyond excellent. I absolutely highly recommend this business; the service, worms and owner are the best. I wouldn’t be a repeat customer all this time if this website and business wasn’t. It is.

I’ve placed several orders never with any issues, till my most recent one last week. My order was delayed 24hrs due to a storm. I tried to pick them up at my local office but was denied. I immediately contacted EA to let them know what UPS said and was assured if there was any issues my order would be taken care of.. as expected the worms arrived very much dead and hot. I sent photos and contacted EA immediately upon receiving the DOA. I’ve always been super happy with quality of the worms and great customer service but I was extremely happy when I got a call 30mins later asking if I wanted a refund or replacement.. I got the replacement order the next day, again with the previous excellent quality worms im accustomed to getting. The entire process was super easy and as always with top notch customer service! My fish are fat and happy!!👏🏼

These blackworms are top notch, always healthy. I can keep them for up to 9 weeks in the frig if I just rinse them 1-2X/day. My Discus go absolutely crazy for them, and show their appreciation by begging and staying bright, beautiful and healthy.
