Frozen Blood Worm

[louis_23]

ok if i add one cube to my tank which is the home to one betta no other fish, is this ok or two much? thanx guy's

one cube is a little much for one bettas, when i just had my one fishie i normally defrosted the cube a little bit then pull out maybe one tweeser full,
just remember bettas don't know when to say when, so you have to be the judge of what is two much food for him.

ps you Betta will love you to pieces for giving him some frozen bloodworm

A cube is definitely too much. You should only feed them a few bloodworms once or twice a week. The rest of the time you give them a few dry betta pellets, and occasionally a cooked crushed up pea to help their digestion and guard against bloating.

your bettas will go crazy for the pea too...come to think of it, my bettas go nutty for most of the non every days foods.

I always thought you were not supposed to refreeze 'meat' when it had been defrosted.

I use a serated knife to cut enough bloodworms of the frozen cube.

i use a whole cube for all my fish, the bettas get a few each then the rest goes into my communities

I do the same as lilfishie, however i have 18 bettas altogether so my husbands community tank don't end up with much. I just defrost the cube and tweezer a few worms out for each betta.

 

[lilfishie]

my communities get quite a bit, i only have 3 bettas....currently

I do as lilfishe as well.
I feed all of our tanks bloodworm.. hmm.. probably 5 days out of the week (feed tanks twice a day, night time is when they get the bloodworm).
And my betta gets around 5-7 worms. Well it depends what brand.
Hikari brand bloodworms are usually pretty small, so she might get more. And there's another kind that I'll get if I can't get hikari where the worms are much fatter so she'll get less.

I've noticed a huge size difference too in some frozen BW. We feed our adults once a week on BW but the Juvies have BW every day. Usually 5 - 7 the same as Amunet but it depends on what size they are.
