Bloodworms in reef???
 
AM I the only nut job out there that feeds bloodworms to his reef tank? I've been told that they are not good for reef fish, but mine all love them... they go nuts (picky Mandarin included). The way I figure it: McDonald's ain't so great for us, but most of us are still alive from eating it... right????

I feed the frozen kind.

Midknight 06-28-2006 03:16 AM

Frozen here also.

i think bloodworms are good for almost any fish.

all my picky ones have always scarffed them down when they refuse everything else; brine shrimp, frozen thingies, krill, expensive pellets.lol

I include blood worms in my frozen buffet

You bet! My mandarin (male) eats them like they're goin out of style! I mix them into my reef food concoction every day of several different frozen foods!

Actually, most of us are dying from a MacDonald's diet, although I don't eat there, nor do my fish. :lol:

OK, so for those of you that are not feeding bloodworms, is there a reason... ie health concerns that the rest of us should be aware of? Oh, and BTW, McDonalds is GOOD!!!

I don't feed bloodworms to my SW fish. FW only. My reason is that...bloodworms being mosquito larvae....it just doesn't seem right, in that I highly doubt it is a natural SW food. I suppose there is no harm in it. Just doesn't seem right...to me.

Cheers:smile:,
