Multiple worm species in same bin?

[jimmy2s83]

Hey guys,
about a week ago the temp got up to the 60s with a light rain so I took the opportunity to beef up my worm stock and collected roughly 30-40 more worms to put in there. However I noticed that I collected about 6 that were much thicker and longer than the other types I retrieved from the first search. I sent some pictures of them to Jay and he guessed that they were most likely Eisenia Fetida or E. andrei. So I will try to post a picture of the new type. My biggest concern is whether it will be ok to keep both types in the same bin. I did find them in the same area so I didn't think much of it but figured I had better ask. Oh yeah the kind I have the most are around 3-4inches in length and thin where the big ones around about 2-3 times thicker and get up to 10 inches long when fully stretched out.
Let me know what you guys think. Jimmy

Hey your okay I have kept up to 3 different types of worms in small bins.
They dont fight much
Lol
only had to break up a couple of fights . No im just kidding . There are no problems.
Unless you have a tropical worm with regular wormsand the temps get to low then they die. Or if yu have a cold temp worm with a higher heat worm then the cold temp worm will die when it gets to warm for them. But from the sounds of it yu got the worms from the same place so should be fine

In my area here I have visually identified 4 indigenous species and have them mixed with each other as my main use of my worms is to produce castings for use in my horticultural needs as fertilizer for my gardens and potting mixes for my decorative plants.

The mix of worms produce an excellent team of "farm hands" for my one man BISF gardens.

Even the less desirable Perionyx excavatus species is welcome in my bins here in the warmer hardness zones as composters even though they are not suitable for bait use.

I successfully contain the P.e. species with the other species using over head lighting if they start to escape the bins.
