Whats that saying great minds think alike, some weeks ago when mixing up a batch of instant potato for the fruit fly cultures I had some left and thought I would try it on the white worm. I also thought as they eat Readybrek dry perhaps they will eat instant potato powder so I tried three cultures each. The dry powder is a disaster and had to be mixed into the medium after three days as it was not being eaten and after one day resembled a film of fungal growth over the culture (it only resembles a growth there was in fact no such problem) the reconstituted potato was also not a success with the worms eating it very slowly under protest. So it was back to the real thing and readybrek.
