Aquarium Village rarely carries them. You can get them in Fish Town in Flushing on Francis Lewis or here on Franklin Ave a few blocks south of Hempstead Tpke. I forgot the name but I am there a few times a week. Manny there almost always has them.
You can use earthworms but make sure they have no insecticides or weed killers in them. They are a very good food and can be frozen and chopped.
Blackworms are water worms and different than earthworms.
I keep them in a worm keeper that I built but I am having trouble with photobucket and it won't let me post a picture right now. I also wrote an article about it but am not sure if I am allowed to link to it here
Where can we find it?

I've actually looked at your worm keeper and have been reading your posts, that is why I would like to be able to find some. Unfortunately here in Canada, it's not an easy thing to find, unless I pay a crazy amount fir shipping from somewhere in the U.S
 
I don't know what to tell you. The fish don't really care if you can't get the food they need as they have no sense of humor. Can you get white worms? Those live in dirt and live for many hours in salt water which makes them better than black worms which die even if you mention salt water. You get a culture of white worms and grow them in dirt. Very cool creatures.
Justingraham, where can you find what?

White worms eating a cracker.

Would you recommend white worms over black worms? @Paul B
 
No, for some reason I just have a feeling blackworms are a better food but I am just guessing. All the fish eat the white worms but they seem to like blackworms better.

I placed a few black worms in the tank and the powder blue was afraid of them. Keep trying?
 
Your tang is a Sissy. :rolleyes:
