How To Sink Blood Worms?

[Rex740]

I bought Freeze dried blood worms and they seem to only float, is there a way to make them sink?

Buy frozen ones.

Sorry other than that I don't know

Edit: you could try squishing them in the water.

The only way I can do it, is not actually sink them, but with a pair of tongs, hold the block at the bottom of the tank, and let them defrost once in the tank..

Hi Rex740

If you hold the cube (or part of one) under the surface for a few moment and shake it while rubbing your fingers together they will become saturated quickly and separate from each other. Once they are wet they will drift down to the bottom.

Freeze dried bloodworms provide good nutrition for fish when live or frozen are not available, but it's best if they are reconstituted rather than dry when the fish eat them.

Right, try squeezing air out of them.

I dont have cubes, they are just loose blood worms.

For those type, simply put the amount you want to feed into a shallow cup or small bowl and add water. Then you take a spoon or your fingers and squeeze the air out of them. When they are saturated enough they will sink slowly.

I have the same kind you have what I do is throw a pinch right in front of the filter. The filter will carry it around and eventually it will hit the ground. What fish are you trying to feed these two. The two bottom feeders I have are clown loaches and Columbian sharks and when I feed them those its gets to them just fine.

Jug of tank water - put worms in for 10 minutes, then pour into tank. Works for me
