How big do worms grow in Australia that makes 2" dwarf? Our local red worms
don't go much above 2 or 3 inches anyway. This is a bit big even for the
Splendida's ATM. I checked the culture last night and there is not a lot left
in it. I've been deglecting it since the last of the cichlids died, time to
visit the compost bin and top it up.
