    Just visited the site. Very nicely done. And I got a free sample and free shipping! I hope my discus likes it. Wondering if there are nutritional information for the frozen black worms that can be shared. Welcome Australian Blackworm. We (both fish and me) hope to benefit from your product.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome and I must say that I am very excited to be here.

    I will post a lot more about the freeze dried worms but as a starter, nutritional facts are as follows:
    Crude protein 66.35%
    Crude Fat 13.87
    Crude Fibre 0.24
    Moisture 5%

    Nutritional facts are always worked out on a dry weight basis .

    Cheers, Mal

    Welcome to the Simply Forum. I would put in for a freebie also but so many ppl already are doing that so Ill just wait and see what ppl have to say and then buy the product . I currently feed tubifex worms and my discus devour those so Im sure they would love this. Cant wait to hear what ppl have to say about this great product. Just wish it was avaliable in the US so shipping wouldnt be so much LOL.

    If you pour a small amount of boiling water on them , wait a couple of minutes and then pour some tank water on them to cool them you will find that they should sink
