tubifex worms will pump the fish faster ., more 'stout' in my opinion. but the risks are there. if u r ok with it. then by all means. =)

High risk high returns. Gotta determine who is the bigger evil of the 2. My 2 cents.

Does freeze-dried tubi carry the same risk of parasites? How to clean the freeze-dried kind then?

I chanced upon a website stating that grindal worms has very high fat content and should be fed with discretion. For those that have experienced with feeding your fishes with grindal worms, does the above mentioned statement stands through? If so, why is it?
