I was under the impression that frozen blood worm carried no risk of disease. This is the second time of starting to feed regular bloodworm (twice a week) that I have noticed poor health in my neons.
Two of my ten neons are turning white as the parasite/bacteria eats away it's flesh from the inside and one now has erratic breathing. The first time this happened the disease cleared up on its own after I stopped feeding bloodworm but this time I have my doubts.
I know NTD can be contracted this way and the symptoms match.
Everything runs fine when I just feed dry food. I try to add variety and now this.
My water parameters are fine and I keep up on the maintenance changing 30% a week. The tank is under stocked and is filtered with a fluval 206 it's a 47 US gallon.
Anybody else had problems with live foods and disease?
