 | Brine shrimp or bloodworms |
fish1    Banned Posts: 1727 Kudos: 1910 Votes: 58 Registered: 09-May-2004   | Which would be a better food when frozen frozen bloodworms or frozen brine shrimp. Im not talking what your fish like most(tho feel free to add that in) but talking nutritious. I heard bloodworms are good but are messier and a little bigger while brine shrimp can be eaten easier.Thanks guys YFFISH1 |

IME brine shrimp was the messy one, it dispersed all over the tank and made a huge mess. bloodworms have never done that for me  cfd  -------------------------- Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more.

Be careful if you have small fish, the bloodworms are harder for them to eat. I had a small cory that had a hard time eating a worm, as he was chewing up it started coming out his gill. He struggled with it for about 5 minutes.  |

RustyBlade Mega Fish Posts: 987 Kudos: 1667 Votes: 391 Registered: 23-Apr-2003  | I agree on both as well What I do with the frozen bloodworm is to chop a couple of blocks up(while it's frozen) and that way you get smaller pieces of bloodworm that most of the smaller fish can eat readily  |
