Rant about frezze dried bloodworms.

Frezze dried bloodworms are sooooo pathetic all they do is float right to the surface and just sit there they have to be in the tank for a while for my fish to eat them.

Why do you have to float?

Frozen Is the best

Live is definitely better. Most fishes like a 'challenge' when hunting for food.

My box of freeze dried shrimp has not been touched since I had bought them. My fishes just weren't interested.

I love frozen. The dried ones always look kind of sharp 2 me. But maybe the thawing technique I use for frozen could work for softening up the dried ones. Just take a cupful of tank water out. Drop bloodworms in. Forget about them for 10 minutes. Then drop em in the tank water and all.

I use frozen too, but when using dried I take a pinch of it and hold it in the water for a while...soon enough I have my betta, one of my dwarf gourami, one of my rams and a platy happily take it from my hand Others are getting braver!

I find the freezedried to be fine. I am personally glad they float. My glass cats are very picky eaters and refuse to eat anything from the bottom of the tank. The frozen bloodworms and live blackworms I feed all sink right to the bottom, where they are ignored by my glass cats. Many other foods I use do this as well. I find they go nuts when I add a little freezedried bloodworm, though they deffinitely prefer the frozen daphnia, that floats throughout the water column.

It isnt when you cant get it.

I use frozen, it's much more better. And I read somewhere on these forums that freeze dried foods can damage your fish's internal organs. But I don't know. I've never tried freeze dried.
