Wardley Tubifex Worms - Stick to tank??? - Aquarium Advice

Baldrick · 11-05-2006, 12:18 PM

I bought some Wardley Tubifex Worms mainly because it says that the cubes will stick to the tank. I figured I could put them lower to make sure the Danios on top won't devour everything.

The problem is that they won't stick! I scrubbed the sides to remove any algea, but they don't even begin to stick.

Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

they have always stuck fine for me...

you have to push, and squish them down a little

ya, just push hard on it

yeah, if you squish em onto the glass they'll stick ...but only for a little while and then they'll pop off and float around the tank

I use the Nutrafin version of the cubes and you do have to press relatively hard for them to stick. After a few nibbles the cube normally comes loose.

Try to break the cube into smaller pieces and stick them around the tank. I find it works a little better as one cube doesn't have 10 fish picking at it.
