I occasionally like to treat my tiger barbs with frozen blood worms...I thaw a cube out and then feed them by dropping the worms in a little at a time with a toothpick....I've noticed that I often will lose a fish or 2 a week or to after...like they are getting sick from the worms...I lost two rosy barbs last time within days of eachother and right now I'm fighting to keep 2 of my tiger barbs alive. My youngest one seems to have won the battle and he's happily swimming around with the others and his colour is nice and bright again. My oldest (he's about 2 years old) is looking very black and swimming very zigzaggy. (like he gets startled). His breathing had been quite rapid but now seems to be getting better. The younger one was doing the same thing before he recovered.. I have been feeding him peas and he's eating them. I have him in the same tank still, just partitioned from the rest because I noticed his fins were a bit frayed from the others. Is is risky to feed them these frozen worms?
