    Default How do you feed freeze dried bloodworms?

    I have a small container of Hikari freeze dried bloodworms. They are not a staple but I like to work them into the rotation a few times a week. The problem is they feel clunky to feed. I soak them, but they don't hang in the water column like all other food. Some discus will pick at it from the surface but others won't. What do you find is the best way to administer this type of food? Thanks!!

    I just press it against the side of the glass. It just take one to start feeding...

    If you take a small container of hot water and place your freeze dried food in the water when the food sinks and the water cools your ready to feed allowing the food to sink

    Hmm.. maybe I'm not waiting long enough. Why hot water? Aren't we afraid that might destroy nutrients?

    Cones are great. If the cubes/loose stuff sinks, invert the cone to big end up. If cubes/loose stuff floats, put the cone big end down. These cones are stuck to the glass w suction cups and and a little arm to hold the cone itself and are sold to do so.
