Trojan_man Enthusiast Posts: 204 Kudos: 191 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Aug-2004	I just bought a can of freeze dry blood worms, and thought that the fish would love this stuff, but...with the thick layer of plants i have on the top, they never see the blood worms because its float like a cork! any idea to make this stuff sink?

You could soak them first but for how long will be up to you, do a few tests first. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

They have a higher nutritional value and my fish seem to like them more. They fall right down to the bottom. HTH ><>Dani<><
