Out of interest are yours just frozen or are they treated/ irradiated as well?
What ever hikari does to theirs, I honestly haven't looked.

It claims to have a 3 step sterilization and be free from parasites unwanted bacteria and foul odors. It also claims to be gut loaded with vitamins. I have been using this brand for 2 years with no problems.

Hi, many thanks for replies and good information. What I'm getting to is would you continue feeding them to an unhealthy fish? ie would feeding blood worms increase or decrease their chances would you say?
I guess there would have to be some assumptions in there if the packaging says if they were irradiated (as well as frozen), and assuming feeding correctly / not too often. Thoughts?
The two times I have fed bloodworms (frozen) to my community tank I have had an outbreak of disease.
Both times I simply stopped feeding blood worms and fed only NLS flakes and peas. Fish that had become pale and shown symptoms of columnaris completely recovered from the verge of death.
There are too many conflicting reports about the safe use of irradiated foods for me. There are some very interesting articles for and against the irradiation process. I would rather just not feed them until the effects are clearer and I've had no problems since. I don't want to risk feeding them again just yet.
Obviously many people feed them with no problems. I'm just giving the reasons why in my experience I prefer not to use them.

I've never even heard of those, I can't imagine they are that great. Get some hakari.

You are probably right although I can't really imagine what the do differently over at hikari.

Yeah I must say they do smell horrible.
I'm in the UK and pets at home sell them along with most shops and garden centres
