Hi Kyle,

Euros are said to be a deeper dwelling worms than either africans or reds.

But at the same time, bait breeders like me use trays that are quite shallow (4 inches of bedding for example).

So in a CFT with a closed bottom like the fabric bags they should do fine in there.

Some people report euros in regular/wooden CFTs find their way out the bottom at the start – but I think when a 12 to 18 inch layer of stable VC is built up under them, the euros would stay in the top from then on.

But the fabric bag CFTs should be fine for them.

If you haven’t seen it, my early review of the Urban Worm Bag is here:

I am swamped by work right now – but hope to get a frame built for my UWB in 3 to 4 weeks time.

I also have another surprise up my sleeve with a fabric CFT – more on that in the blog in a few weeks (wink wink)

Thanks for asking your question

Regards
Brian
