Bloodworm

[littlenemo]

just bought 10 bags of live blood worm from lfs can i drain them all out of the bags and just put them all in a tub and add some tank water so then i can just pour it in at feeding time will they survive

Just keep em in the bags and pour them in, saves fannying around. The bags normally have protein in them to keep them alive longer. They are such a massive rip off too. So expensive

not sure what you are trying to achieve by doing that?

I just use a fish net to sieve them from the bag water (over my water change bucket) and then plop them in.

10 bags in one go though? - you must have a lot of fish!

if i'm right, those tubes of live bloodworm equate to about 1 cube of frozen bloodworm and considering i'll happily put 5 cubes of frozen bloodworm into my tank every other day, thats pretty pricey to start using live stuff

Best bet is to go to a fishing tackle shop, see if they have someone who supplies live bloodworm.

5 cubes in one feeding?

my tank gets two, and they should feel lucky to get it!
