Gosh, I didn't know this about bloodworms. When I get them in my daphnia
culture tanks, they seem like a 'clean' food as they are sqirming about in
the water column. Seems 'clean'. Using frozen bloodworms is what I think
killed my Dario dario and it's even more annoying since I didn't HAVE to
give them bloodworms. I was just trying to vary their diet since they took
frozen brine so well and I was short on live food at the time. Live and
learn. And I'm not sure of the brand...whatever is sold frozen at Denny's
Pet World.
