Ok, I breed tubifex worms, and i want to feed them to my fish, but when i put them in the tank, they just sink to the bottom, and just go in the gravel.

Is there an easier way? I mean if i put something in the tank, they will be scared of it

I want to especially feed my YoYo's and corys but the YoYo's hide all day, so how can I get them out?

feed them at lights out with a worm feeder cone, and place a rock or piece of slate in the area so they dont fall directly onto the gravel, to give the fish a chance

I was a little curious myself, so I did some research

worm feeder cone

Looks like it's inexpensive and gets the job done. Kudos to calla for a good idea

I never use live food now I just dont trust the water it arrives in. That is the reason I use frozen foods.

When I did use live foods many moons ago, I would place it into a fine small catching net. This will work extemly well and easy to clean out.
