Feeding cone for freeze dried and frozen worms

[Jameshill247]

Has anyone used a feeding cone for freeze dried or frozen worms

I normally just stick the fd cubes to the glass but im wondering if this would be a good option for the frozen to stop them flowing around the tank

From reading customer reviews i have heard the holes may be too small

Worm cones are great for both..

For frozen worms.. open end up near surface..

Freeze dried worm. Open end down.... below water surface

Feed away

Oh I see so invert the cone and place say midway down the glass for FD

And open end out of the surface and right way up for frozen?

Yes, that it. It works great for both kind of worms.

Thanks will have to get one of them

I'm guessing a large one would do best?

[Rudustin]

Yes, a larger one is better. How many discus do you have an what size is the tank. I have a 125 gallon and have twelve discus in there so I have three feeding cones so everyone gets some food.

55g? I think it's about 190 litres and 5 discus but then there are some tetras and rummy noses etc

Maybe one on either side would be better

Anyone possibly have a video or pic of the cones in action with the FDBWs?

[Rudustin]

I will take a pic of my discus feeding on FDBW tomorrow and post it.

Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Sorry about the pictures but i just learned how to post pictures yesterday thanks to Pat who was such a good tutor. Now I just need to take a good picture! LOL

I seem to recall someone on here having some videos last fall/winter of some of their discus eating FDBW from an inverted cone, but cannot find them.

David.. think it was josie

[Jameshill247]

Looks a pretty good way to feed them

Just need to get hold of a couple now

I keep finding them online at like $1-$2

Any uk suppliers I find seen to be like £5 each wonder why they are so much more here

David.. think it was josie

This is the only one I could find showing the cones upside down I use them in any tank that has a sump or on a system so the FDBW wont float around......Josie

It was inside of a big candy with a surprise

[wiz]

For example the most usual is the "Kinder surprise" but there are others with different sizes, like "Chupa Chups"

*edit* phone shown the diy post... Makes sense now lol :)

Good idea! Does it sink though or did you weight it down?

[Skip]

that would not work well in a Barebottom tank.. :/

[wiz]

It is attached to a little stone to sink, I dont need to put my hands in the water.

You can use a suction cup if you prefer.

I like the idea of dropping it in cos that might stop the tetras getting to it so much

Could tie some cotton to it so I can drag it out too

On a side note... Will discus eat chopped prawn?

[wiz]

Tetras eat the excess of the discus

[Jameshill247]

Tetras eat the excess of the discus

Yeah they are pretty good at that especially the tiny bits

And What they miss the cories get

[JoseRivera]

That's a pretty good idea, my fdbw usually ends up floating everywhere
