WTB Live Blood Worms & Roe

[wmcinnes]

Trying to get my new leopard wrasse to eat and heard they love blood worms and roe. Where can I find this in Edmonton?

You can also look for live Black Worms (Lumbriculus spp.). They need to be soaked in freshwater and kept in the fridge with 2x daily 100% waterchanges. They will be dirty at first, and you can't use them until the water is clear when it's time to do another waterchange.

Look for roe at Asian markets. It is often frozen. Ask for Tobiko (Flying Fish roe) which is bigger and more expensive or Masago (Capelin roe) which is smaller. Don't get the green ones that have wasabi on them. The really bright orange ones are dyed. They are ok to use, just rinse them really, really well.

TNT supermarkets carry roe of many different varieties.

Yes live Black Worms is what I meant, not blood worms! Where do you find them!?

Great Info thank you!

I've had Petland special order Black Worms for me here. That's the only place here that I've been able to find them.
