I built a custom blackworm storage/rinsing device. I used a nylon mesh (maybe 100 micron size, but I'm not sure) to drain the worms. It worked great at first, but the filter has quickly gotten clogged. It's glued in place, so I can't routinely change it.

I tried buying an 800-micron mesh filter bag, but that's too large - the worms wiggle through.

Does anyone know what is the largest pore size that will prevent blackworms from getting through?

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
