Black worms

[twocat]

I have been trying to feed my discus live black worms to promote breeding, however I have had some issues.

The supply issue has been a problem in the past. Now I can get them but the price of a lb with shipping is up there. In addition the cleaning and the smell is not the greatest thing for me.

Would it be more economical to buy a large quantity of freeze dried black worms ? Would the nutritional value be the same and would freeze dried serve the same purpose of promoting breeding?

What would the disadvantage be of freeze dried?

Yes but why are you paying shipping? Our local pet store was getting 1/2 lbs for me pretty cheap.
Now i will say that when you first get them they are smelly. Buy some distilled water to start. Then keep 2 gallons if treated water in the fridge at all times. Rinse daily lots they will never smell and if you have more questions you have my number. I also gave you some freeze dried. Upside down cone works best for those, but I'm sure you knew that.
Call me if you have questions i could help you out...
