Aquarium Advice Addict
Here's a (maybe) simple question. I have a black water biotope with a school of 9 cardinal tetras. I feed them "New Life Spectrum Small Fish Formula" food, which they seem to do well with so far. However, on my most recent trip to the pet store, I decided to buy some freeze-dried blood worms to see if they liked them. Long story short, I have never seen my fish act that way before! Usually they are timid, and if I sit still in front of the tank they come out and peacefully munch on their food. I put the bloodworms in, and it became a feeding frenzy out of a National Geographic special! Obviously they like them, but my question is this:
Can blood worms be used as regular food, or are they really only a treat?
(I must add that they are going to be stressed for a while because I'm starting to change the water chemistry to better match their natural environment, and they need good food.)
