Bloodworm-Is It Worth Carrying On?

[peediedj67]

i have been giving my fish bloodworm occasionally to vary there diet,but it seems to float on top of tank and not sink like flakes,anyway i have yet to see any of my fish even touch any bloodworm, will i just not bother putting it in anymore?

Sounds like it's the freeze dried? What species of fish do you have?

If its the freeze dried stuff try soaking it for a minute or so in tank water first. They'd prefer frozen or live bloodworm!

I have Neon Tetras, Blue Rams, and Dwarf Gouramis that all love those dried worms. I would follow Soybean's advice.

my platies and guppies wouldn't touch the dried bloodworm, and of course, the cories didn't really get the chance. In the end I gave it to my Dad and his golden barbs and black ruby(?) barbs love it. They will eat dried tubiflex cubes if I stick it to the glass.

Mine love the frozen variety though

I'm the same. My fish don't really care for the dried stuff, but they'll go nuts for frozen or live!

My fish won't touch freeze dried bloodworm and they also dislike frozen brine shrimp (not cheap)!
