I bought some cultures of grindal worms?, waterworms?, microworms?, and vinegar eels. I thought that they were already started when i bought them but only the grindal worms are set up(but i can't even find the worms in there...) They took so long in the mail that i am afraid they are dead!? So i guess i have a few questions.

Which culture starter is which? I have one that looks like apple cider vinegar that i assume is the eels. I have two that appear to have wet oatmeal in them and one spilled a bit and now there are lots of tiny whitish things on the sides of the bag.kinda look like lacey fibers

How am i supposed to set up the cultures to make them grow?

How do i harvest them?(links to pics of what i'm supposed to be looking for would be great)

Thanks bunches!! I'm off to search the internet some more!
