Microworms are by far the easiest live food to raise/maintain for your fry and nano fish. They are actually nematodes that belong to the species Panagrellus. And they are even smaller than newly hatched brine shrimp which make them ideal for the tiniest of fry. Their movement in the water column makes them very attractive to all types of small fish such as guppies, tetras, danios, and many more. It is extremely cheap to maintain and a great source of food for your fish.Materials Needed:
