Tips for freeze dried bloodworm feeding?

[h2oskierc]

I bought some freeze dried blood worms to feed, especially for my GBR. Anybody have advice for getting them to him? Since he is on the bottom, his tank mates usually pounce before he gets a chance...

I would do frozen over freeze dried... and I walways used a syringe with a piece of air line tubing to get it down to my apistos

Darn, I looked at the frozen too! I will get some of them. Do you thaw them first?

I am guessing that you suck some tank water into the syringe and then the blood worm?

I would always use one of those red plastic throw away picnic cups (marked for aquarium so my wife didn't toss it) and get an inch of tank water, put in a cube of worms, let it sit for a few, then suck them up and spot feed them. My male would actually come eat them as they were dangling out of the tube.
