How To Feed Live Bloodworms?

[trikidy]

My LFS sells them in a tube, same size as a Red Bull can but thinner and taller, it is filled with water and the worms settle at the bottom.

So will all my fish eat them?
i have a betta, guppies and tetras, also corrys.

Do i just empty the container in? with the water? all of them?

Thanks

I've only ever used the frozen as that's all I can get my hands on here but with a can that size I'd doubt you'd hoof them all in. I could be wrong because as I said I've only ever seen frozen and freeze dried.

I put the whole lot in.

Put some tank water in a mug, empty the contents of the 'tube' through a tea strainer to catch the bloodworms, put them into the mug and 'hoof' that into the tank, my fish love them especially this time of the year when I cant get the fly larvae from the water butts!!

I like the idea of separating them, the water they have been sitting in couldnt be too good for the fish!

Will all my fish eat them?

I will try it later and put some pictures or a video up

I've got 3 different types of tetra's, harlequin rasboaras, dannios, albino corries, shrimps and an angel fish and they all love live feed, see if your pet shop have brine shrimp this way as well.

Yeah they have brine shrimp too. Right now to feed them!

They munched them down quick!
It's funny watching a neon tetra with a bloodworm because it's about the same size sticking out its mouth lol.
Pics below if you wana see the worms etc
