algae wafers are available at any pet store. Even Walmart has them. Hikari is a good brand, so is Aqaurian. Petsmarts have their own brand of them.

Mine are growing well, but wow, I looked at your video again and although my box is bigger than yours I don’t have anything like that quantity of worms. I’m not putting that much food in though – I guess I should put in more…

I have more trouble …
I have more trouble with mites with the grindal worms. Don’t know why. They are tough to get rid of. The mites should congregate mostly on some dry dog or cat food pellets in the culture. Then pick out the pellets covered in mites and throw out. When your white worm culture gets going pretty good, harvest into a container of water. Stir it, let it settle, pour off the water. Do that several times and most of the mites will be gone from the worms. Use that to start a new clean culture. David

So I got me some …
So I got me some white worms from a guy on Aquabid! They seem healthy but I don’t yet have the quantities your video shows. I’m going to let them settle in for a couple of weeks – I put them in a larger container than they came in with some more potting soil.
I think they have mites though – there’s lots of tiny little dots. Do you have trouble with them?

It will take a lot …
It will take a lot of grindals to fill up the fish you have listed. As adults they would much prefer the whiteworms. And since whiteworms start out smaller and grow up, the smaller ones will feed the baby platies and guppies. But the whiteworms need to be kept much cooler than the grindals.

100 tanks! Wow!!
…
100 tanks! Wow!!
I’m wondering whether to get whiteworms or grindals. I have community fish: cories, platys, guppies, a dwarf gourami, nothing very big. I hear that white worms are fattier than grindal worms, so maybe I should go with the latter.

I keep over 100 …
I keep over 100 tanks. They are mostly 10 gallons, but range from 2 1/2 to 40 gallon. Whiteworms are much larger than girindals. Be like saying redworms are same size as night crawlers. Microworms to grindals to whiteworms to blackworms to redworms is my worm size pregression with my fish. whiteworms and blackworms are fed pretty much to same fish. Blackworms get chopped for the smaller fish.
