do you have a bigger picture so we can acually see them up close?

 

[littlefishie]

Definitely bloodworms.

 

[emo]

The pic's a little bigger than displayed...

As for what type they are... they look a little long to be bloodworm to me.

Blackworm are a lot longer

They look quite light in the photo you have... maybe it's just the camera settings?

black worms are worms, blood worms are not actually worms , but are insect larva , much like mosquito larva and glass worms . You could probably tell the diff if you could see both at the same time , I almost never see live blood worms for sale by me , wish I did .


Those look like black worms to me though when light passes through them they look more brown or reddish .



Black worms can carry bacteria that may be harmful to fish , I don't use them anymore for that reason , that's just me though , rinse them well and rinse them often . sometimes they stink .

These are not Bloodworms, They are Tubifex worms.

Tubifex are white!!

i'm saying black worms as blood worms are shorter than that and alot redder...well compared to the small size i get.

Tubifex worms are most definatily not white but are a reddish to dark brown in colour. I have fed this worm quite a lot to my Killifish breeding stock and they also are excellent chopped with a razor blabe and fed to larger fry.
