Product description

What are freeze dried bloodworms?

  Bloodworms are actually a type of insect larvae named after their bright red color. Found in water bodies in nature, nearly all species of fish devour bloodworms making them an excellent food choice for even the pickiest eaters.  Freeze Dried Bloodworms are processed and tested to remove undesirable organisms such as parasites and harmful bacteria sometimes found in live bloodworms. These natural treats are highly nutritious and rich in beneficial proteins, vitamins and minerals.

How do I feed the dry food to my fish?

  The average length of the bloodworm is about 1CM (0.4 INCH) and the diameter is about 0.1CM (0.04 INCH). The bloodworms are lightweight and will float so it is best to soak them in a little water before adding them to your tank. Simply dump a few treats into a dish and add water. After a few minutes, pour the water and bloodworms into your aquarium. Fish go crazy over the delicious snacks and eat them while they float and begin to sink. These surface feeding fish and shrimp treats leave no cloudy water behind and provide your pets with extra iron, seafood protein and fiber.

What fish enjoy these floating treats?

  Perfect as a supplement to your aquatic pet’s primary diet, freeze dried bloodworms are a great treat for almost any species of fish and shrimp. Both saltwater and freshwater fish such as cichlids, goldfish, mollies and oscars receive a boost of energy from these tasty snacks. Betta fish aquariums and breeding tanks particularly benefit from the addition of bloodworms to their diet.

  Top-class supplementary food for very fastidious fish. Basically, your fish will go CRAZY for this food!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can they be fed to GloFish

User questions & answers

Question:	How many balls of which size in my 30 gallon tank

Question:	Comes with a heat pack in the box to keep the fish alive
Answer:	Yes
Question:	can we pick the fish
Answer:	I purchased two of them, and I have seen no aggressiveness in 4 weeks, even with my other fish
Question:	Can it be with guppies
Answer:	They are extremely small when hatched but you can feed them to glofish.
Question:	How large do they grow
Answer:	Yes. The brine shrimp are still saltwater creatures and need certain conditions to hatch. There are tips on sifting the salt water out through a coffee filter online prior to feeding. Definitely just make sure to refrigerate immediately or freeze if not using promptly.
Question:	can it be in same tank with Albino Rainbow Shark
Answer:	Yes, these are EGGS, not living brine shrimp. You need to hatch these eggs then feed the nauplii to your fish.
Question:	I have to put these sharks in my smaller tanks till they grow. Can I purchase 2 or 3 and be safe? as I read they are aggressive toward each other
Answer:	Get a salt that doesn’t contain iodine. table salt commonly contains it. You can use kosher salt or even ice cream salt, both are really cheap in cost. I take 1 liter of water and add 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon of salt. I use water that is room temperature stir to dissolve and then Pour it in a 20 ounce coke bottle I cut the bottom off of and set inside lid down in a plastic cup to hold it. I’ll put 2 Teaspoons of brine shrimp in and put it under a lamp with a air bubbler inside to keep the water moving and they will last me for a good week before I need more. 1 liter of water is enough (approximately 4 & 1/4 cups) to fill 3 soda bottles.
