A male vinegar eels' reproductive system is smaller than the female's.

Nematodes, such as the vinegar eels, have no circulatory system.

Vinegar eels are often given to fry (baby fish) as a live food, like microworms.

Turbatrix aceti (also called vinegar eels) is a species of nematode.

Female vinegar eels have ovaries and produce eggs.

Vinegar eels have to live in liquids that have enough oxygen so that it can diffuse into their bodies.

Fruit flies or vinegar eels are considered as a common vector in propagating acetic acid bacteria in nature.

Feeding fry live foods, such as baby brine shrimp, microworms, infusoria and vinegar eels, is recommended.

Vinegar eels (Turbatrix aceti), a form of nematode, may occur in some forms of vinegar unless the vinegar is kept covered.

Newly fry can be fed vinegar eels or commercially-prepared liquid fry food but are big enough to devour newly hatched brine shrimp within a few days.

Turbatrix aceti (Vinegar eels, Vinegar nematode) are free-living nematodes that feed on the microbial culture, called mother of vinegar used to create vinegar, and may be found in unfiltered vinegar.

Borellus (1653) was the first to observe and describe a free-living nematode, which he dubbed the "vinegar eel;" and Tyson (1683) used a crude microscope to describe the rough anatomy of the human intestinal roundworm, Ascaris lumbricoides.
