Worms and bugs for sand

Hi All,
I have not upgraded or replenished the creatures in my sand bed for a loong time now. At one time I used to be able to see the spaghetti worms and bristleworms moving about. Now I don't see anything anymore. I have a few nassarius snails and tiny star fish that seem to do OK on top of the sand but I think I need something for underneath the sand surface.
So is there anywhere that just sells something like a "Worm Kit"?

Thanks,
CaptK

Captain,

Try inlandaquatics or the IPSF for this. You can get bristle and the spaghetti worms from www.ipsf.com
I have ordered from both places last year and was happy with what I recieved.

Premium Aquatics sells the "gunk" that accumulates on the bottom of their curing vats... It should have TONS of life in it.... Not real pretty according to cory though

Also there is always the "grunge" from GARF!!!

You should take a red light and shine it in your tank at night and see what kind of critters you see. A lot of the bristle worms and the sorts will hide during the day to avoid predation and will only surface at night. You might be surprised at how much is still crawling around in there.

Do you have any fish that might be preying on your fauna?

Also, I hear ISPF has great package deals for critters and the stuff, do they still do the 9 for $99 thing?
