Some of Fred’s first customers remain customers today. Many of Rainbow's present employees have been here for over forty years and work alongside their own children and grandchildren! This bond of family is extended to our customers.
With the passing of years, a strong bond of family was formed between Fred and the employees of Rainbow Mealworms. Today, the city block that Rainbow Mealworms sits on is fondly known as "Mealworm City" to customers and neighbors alike. He worked hard and started making Rainbow Bait and Tackle into a large-scale farm adding other critters like crickets and waxworms over the years. He was able to purchase some properties in Compton, California. After years of hard work, Fred was selling his worms full time. Fred always loved to fish, and mealworms were his favorite bait. Our founder Fred Rhyme as a young man in the 1950’s started raising mealworms in his garage and selling to the local bait stores out of the trunk of his car.
According to a broken-line model, the recommended substituted ratio of TM for fish meal was estimated to be 25% for rainbow trout obtaining maximum weight gain.Welcome to Rainbow! Come and join a family of bird, mammal, and reptile lovers, fishermen, zoos, museums, universities, and even the food (yes human!), television and movie industry. At the end of the experiment, the mean of the final weight of the fish fed diets with control (41.7☐.7) and diet containing 25% TM powder (43.1☒.1) was significantly higher than other treatments (p0.05). Each diet was randomly divided into triplicate groups with 20 juveniles (initial weight 10☐.5 g). Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with TM replacing 0% (Control), 25% (TM25), 50% (TM50), 75% (TM75) and 100% (TM100) fishmeal respectively. Abstract 8-week feeding trial was conducted for juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to determine the optimal amount of Tenebrio molitor meal (TM) that could replace fishmeal in feeds without reducing growth performance, hematological indices and non-specific immune responses.
