Posted by §tudz on November 2, 2005, 2:06 pm Please log in for more thread options Hi, My fish love bloodworms, but I have no way to keep wast amounts of them for very long, so I thought I'd try freeze dried ones. But my fish didn't come to the surface for them :( so I ended up just fishing them out again. is there anyway which anyone here find best for feeding them? soaking them before hand or something?

Have you tried the frozen kind that come in little trays of ice cubes? My fish were much more enthusiastic about them - they float till they thaw out, then sink, so fish at all levels get a crack at 'em. Easy to keep in the freezer too, although my wife tends to grumble...

As I understand it they are then free of all pathogens. Safe for fish and free of any disease. Mike. Similar Threads Posted wholesale bloodworm August 10, 2005, 11:22 am
