How To Sink Freeze Dried Bloodworms?

[amatuer]

The question is in the title really guys... i've got guppies, platies and sword tails all at the top munching away and my tetras/cory's don't get any of this treat.

What methods do people us to make freeze dried bloodworms sink?

Cheers Matt

Hi amatuer and welcome to the site. I have never much used freeze dried worms. To fed the bottom/middle dwellers the best thing to do is use frozen ones. I feed my lot with flake in the morning then with a combination of defrosted bloodworm & Mysis or Daphnia & brine shrimp or mix them up.

Hope this helps and good luck with the hobby.

Hi the way i do it is lay some of them on a piece of tinfoil and wet them a little then freeze them they will sink no probs

i find getting a glass 3/4 full of water, add the cube of bloodworm, let it sink then tip if quickly into the tank and most of it sinks,

After handling the bloodworms, be careful not to rub your eyes before washing your hands in case you are allergic to them. I learned the hard way.

I dont like to use them - they are too bitty and messy. You would be better to use fresh frozen ones - the fish would prefer it too!
