Bit Of A Silly Question About Feeding

[P&J]

So I've heard that cories like bloodworms, and my platties certainly love the freeze-dried ones that I have, but they float! How do I get them down to the bottom for the cories?

Hmm, I've tried soaking, but when I pour them in they still float. The ones that did sink while soaking just stuck to the cup and wouldn't come out.

put a couple of the cubes in a cup with a little bit of water for a few mins unil they have thawed and then tip them in

I have the freeze-dried kind, not the regular frozen kind. Would those sink better?

yeah sorry stick on eyes tonite mate lol yeah frozen sink when defrosted you can just pop them in the tank frozen and within a minute they are gone defrosted and eaten lol or put them in a cup add a little water leave them a minte to defrost and pour them in they will sink straight away well most of them willthere is always a couple that float

Hi P&J

If you want to go with freeze dried food, try the tubifex worms instead. To feed, take a cube (or part of one) and hold it under the water for a little while until it becomes wet. It won't take long. As the cube softens, squeeze it and shake it until it comes apart into individual worms. They will sink easily.
