The other thing is the worms need to be defrosted before feeding other small fish like mine will hav a temperature shock if they rush to grab the worms as they always do because they do so love them. Cutting it into smaller pieces did not work as it does not reduce the thickness of each blood worms. The only issue is they are too thick and my cherry barbs and cories looked like they are facing much problems in chomping the frozen blood worms down. I bought worms that are treated with X-ray to kill whatever that is not to be there before being fed to the fish. i have very bad experience with either forzen or live food, kill my entire bettas and flowerhorn infected with parasitesSorry to hear of your loss. I will advise not to use both either frozen or live. I read somewhere within this forum that mouthwash can be used as well to disinfect the live tubifex. It is alarming and I think I will put them into Quarantine Tank soon. I noticed that after continuously feeding the c.pandas with the live tubifex, some of them had bodies that turned black instead of their usual pearl color. The problem with live tubifex or bloodworms is you need to wash and disinfect it with potassium permanganate first before feeding it to your fishes (very troublesome) and also live feed cannot be kept long.Thanks aquarius for the tips, I previously just washed them with water whenever the water in which they are kept turned red or there is a strong smell. Actually it's best to feed live worms cos you don't know how long the frozen ones have been kept, much like frozen chicken or fish that one would buy from the supermarket won't be as fresh as live ones. After you defrost the bloodworms, use a pair of scissor and roughly cut up the worms into smaller pieces.
