blood worms

[saabtech]

how do you feed blood worms... they float for me and none of my fish will eat food from the surface of the water.
i was thinking i could feed them to dendros and suncorals and anemones, something that would grab hold and not let go.

what do you guys think?

[Europhyllia]

frozen or freeze dried?
I deliver all food with a Kent Sea Squirt. Never had a problem with food floating. I use about 98% frozen food

[saabtech]

its all frozen cubes.. sometimes i defrost them in some water and smash them all up (to get the air/gasses out) and feed them to the gorg.
all mine float though maybe it was the batch or brand, it is hikari sales U.S.A. inc. "mega-marine"........well now that i read it, it said "sea worms" not blood worms.

I don't like the mega marine. I think it's some kind of krill. the floaty pink things.
try the regular bloodworms. they should be fine :)

[saabtech]

i guess they are krill. i think that is 75% of the cube. i dont like it either, but i need to find a use for it or toss it out...? i think i will go to the stinging/grabing coral and inverts.

My bloodworms don't float? Get a flatpack from the lfs

No floating bloodworms here...

[StevenSeas]

nor here. only frozen food i have ever fed in my tank or any at work that floated were those that used gel binder and maybe maybe krill

Tried the mega-marine once and had the same experience... did not like it for that reason.

Blood worms on the other hand, are mightily enjoyed by our fish.

Suspended tube half in and out of the water. When they become waterlogged they will sink and into the waiting maw of your fish.
