Freeze Dried Bloodworms

[.Hack]

Any idea how to make FD bloodworms sink?
Intending to supplement the bloodworms with Hikari Lionhead for my Orandas and Ranchus.

Only way I know is to soak them in fairly warm water.

whynot consider those "wet" types? hikari brand is good....comes in 24 and 32 cube packs. can get at most lfs....just need to store in freezer and thaw before feeding.

Think you are referring to the frozen type of bloodworms. I went for the freeze dried type cos it's more convenient. But down side is it floats. Will consider the Hikari frozen ones after I finish these worms.

any chance of parasite infestation from frozen bw? i'm super scared about those mozzie looking flies that these guys evolve into... they never go away until you shut everything down and restart by washing everything.. nightmare..

I don't think any living organism can survive that process of freeze dry and vacuum packed.

Nope. The worms are already dead, so no chance of them evolving.

buy hikari brand if concern.....better qc and of course higher priced than the china brands.

Actually price is a little higher only. Bought the China brand for $3, Hikari $7.80. But the overall amount around the same as Hikari almost more than double compared to China brand.
