Culturing live feed

[fishguy1978]

We all feed some form of frozen worm but a live form is often needed to trigger spawning. The hurricanes of 2023 wiped out the black worm production in Florida. Aquarium Paradise is unable to source currently.
I found the following article about propagating them at home.

With my daphnia and such cultures exploding, including blood worms. I'm wondering if it might be worth splitting a culture to see how some do outside, maybe start an annual culture. It's nice letting nature do nature sometimes. I can't keep a culture alive indoors, but given time nature creates the conditions needed for this kind of stuff.
