my betta is scared of bloodworms!

[smilla4]

I bought some frozen bloodworms today to provide some variation from flake food and dropped a few in my tank. My betta swam up to check it out, looked at it, then ran away!

The minnows and the ghost shrimp were going nuts. The ghost shrimp somehow managed to pull the one the betta rejected through the breeders net, but before she could eat it, the minnows chased her off and fought over it.

interesting , because wherver I have read, (and seen with my betta too), bettas love bloodworm a lot. Bettas just have too much personality , every one is different from the other

He might very well find out he likes them, if he overcomes his fear of approaching them

The reaction was too funny. It would be like me freaking out and running away from a pint of ben and jerrys.

This is the funniest post I've seen all day!

Hope he calms down and learns to enjoy them.

Hi smilla4,
Did your betta eat the bloodworms yet? I bet he will after he gets used to them! Maybe he would rather eat ice cream instead! LOL, just kidding!!

Icecream may make a mess of the filter....

I will try again next week...

Perhaps I should try yogurt. I think they could use a round of healthy probiotic bacteria. Organic, so no hormones, I wouldn't want them to ingest rgbh, that might be bad for them.
