blood worm

[boxfish]

need some advice

[shiraz]

i tried once... my 6 line wrasse and my dottyback ate some... cleaners too.. but did not continue feeding as the frozen blood worms made the water slightly 'bloody'

i tried too... no problem if yr fish can take it. but observe after some feeding, my fish refuse to take it anymore.

From what I heard, it does not pack in as much goodness but it will fatten up your fishes easily. That is of course, as compared to mysis and brine shrimps.

Advice is not to use it as a staple for your fishes, go for a variety of feed suited to their requirement.

Read from somewhere that after continous feeding of blood worm for long time, side effect might occur

to add on to what Rumour said....

bloodworms are high in cholestrol. they make fishes go fat. or at least my freshwater fishes grew huge with them. my tetras used to be so microscopic....now they're like. huge.

same goes for my angelfishes as well.

so yeah. they do make them grow fat damn fast. so the effects should be the same as in marine. however they'll go frantic whenever I drop the cubes of frozen bloodworms into the tank.
