Keeping ragworm alive?

[seank]

Hi lads.

I was out digging for lug the last day and was lucky enough to find a few rag.. I put them in peat dampened with a bit of salt water and store them in a worm tub in the fridge.

However they died, which is a pity.. white rag and all!

Anyone have any tips so this doesn't happen again?

Dont use peat dig them and put them in a tray in about 2mm of water in the fridge and they will last a week or 2 change the water every day or 2

White rag need to be kept in a bottle or container of salt water to survive. I store the King rag in a tank of seawater in the fridge then dry them in sand before putting them in A tub of Vermiculite when ready to take fishing.

Thanks lads. And does it need to be sea water fresh from the tide, or can I use refridgerated water collected on the day the rag were dug?

i kept white rag alive for 2 weeks in a container of salt water,i used a aquarium air pump to oxygenate the water and changed the water once

Sea water in a container kept in the fridge is fine you dont need to get new sea water daily
