Opps - PS - the Nature's Delica (blood worms or water fleas) is packed in packages that are found in a box. If you open one up, the food appears to be in a gel form. Similar to Liquid fry, but not as watery - it's a liquid food (in this case liquid blood worms or water fleas) enriched with vitamins. That is what the Nature's Delica is. I have never been able to get Rams to successfully thrive for a long life on stable food. Good luck! Bonny 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
