Red worms ( Eisenia foetida ) is the most common variety used (arguably the most versatile) composting worms. They are generally 2-4 inches in length with a reddish / purple, appearance and overall physical characteristics can actually vary quite a distance. Sometimes worms are colored from light orange or dark purple color, sometimes with stripes. One characteristic that seems to be fairly consistent among specimens of this species is the yellow tail tip.
red worms are very tolerant of a variety of temperatures - from cold temperatures until the temperature reaches 35 Celsius heat, they are very suitable cultivated indoors or outdoors. According to Edwards (1988) * the optimal temperature for breeding Red worm is 15-20 Celsius, while the optimum temperature for maximum growth and sewage treatment capacity of approximately 25 Celsius.
These species breed fairly easily in the cage worms, assuming their basic needs met. In order to maximize the successful cultivation of this worm, it is advisable to prepare a media enclosure for breeding worms and flukes. Before you book-worm seed, or at least while waiting for the seed worm arrives. This only involves the mixing of media Worms with sufficient amount of food composition, and then adjust the humidity in the cage and let the worms which have been prepared.
