Tim, Live blood worms will get their appetite going for sure. I feed mine frozen. I don't always like what I see when I buy the live blood worms (sometimes picking up strange stuff). With the frozen - even if they spit it out, they still get the "juices" that they need. And then they will eventually eat them whole. They like to chew and take their sweet time, which is sometimes very annoying to me. Hope this helps. Bonny

Frozen? freeze dried? live?
I have been trying to get them to eat freezedried blood worms, basically
the staple food for all my fish, and they seem very reluctant to go to
the surface and get them.
thanks
