I feed my fish 2 times a day, my bala sharks love bloodworms. I feed bloodworms everyday. Are there any problems with that? Theyre omega one freeze dried bloodworms. Help? Thanks!!
They should be considered a treat and not staple foods. Also freeze-dried foods can cause bloat. I'd only give them the bloodworms twice per week at most. Or you could try frozen bloodworms which are better than freeze-dried (just thaw out the cube first).
2X this.
Just be careful with the frozen stuff. I only do that in my tank 3X a week for my 55 gallon semi aggressive tank and I still end up with a bit of left overs. Feeding frozen everyday may muck up your tank. You should be doing tropical flakes daily, and doing bloodworms only a few times a week. Its healthier for your fish.
librarygirl said:Agreed. Frozen foods are messy lol I give mine a cube once per week (maybe even less) and I thaw it out in a cup of tank water and spoon out a small portion to put into the tank, the rest gets tossed. For their normal diet I give NLS pellets and Flakes mostly, peas once per week and fast once per week.
I just chop the still frozen cube in half and put what I don't need back in freezer. Less waste. ,)
