Tubifex

Does anyone have information on a bulk wholesale source of tubifex worms?  
Not the so called black worm readily available.  I want the type formerly 
used before the black type came on the market.

My objection to the black type is they are too active.  Readily escaping from 
cone feeders and moving about the tank.  Where they invariably end up 
infesting the mops, clustering about the top, Which interferes with egg 
picking.  They are larger in diameter and seem to have a tougher casing. 
Smaller fish will not eat them, whereas they will eat the old type.  With the 
old type little or no problem existed in the worm escaping after being 
ingested.  The black type die if washed in my local tap water.  I am forced 
to use rain water for washing.  This problem is nonexistent with the old type.

While my requirement is one or two pounds per feeding, I can handle a 
five or ten pound minimum order and sell the balance.
