What are Grindal Worms?

Grindal worms (Enchytraeus buchholzi) are enchrytaeid oligochaete worms, and they are smaller relatives of White worms (Enchytraeus albidus) which are equally cultured as aquarium fish food.

Interesting fact:
This species was named after Mrs. Morten Grindal of Sweden, and she discovered these worms while improving on a White worm culture.

They have a white, cream color and grow up to ½ inch (up to 1.5 cm) in length and up to 0.015 inches (0.4 mm) in diameter.

They can live up to 30 days.

Grindal worms are hermaphroditic i.e. possessing both male and female reproductive organs, and they are capable of producing a mass of cocoons (each containing about 9-25 eggs).

Grindal worms are extremely prolific. Under optimal conditions, they can easily double their biomass in 3-4 days!

Grindal Worms as Live Food?
Grindal worms contain high protein (70%), minimal fat (14%), and carbohydrates (10%) with a large amount of vitamin A and carotene, making it a healthy and nutritious food option for your fish and other tank inhabitants.

Also, since many fish and inverts require live foods as well as a mixed/varied diet; feeding your tank critters with these worms will help keep them active, healthy, and well-nourished.
