    Well, Ricardo .... I buy 25-30 lbs of Frozen Blood Worm from DrFosterSmith every 6 months .. I am thinking to replace that with Mal's dry black worm .. I might just need that 1Kg every 6 months ?

    I also has the problem of floating worms. I have quite a few tanks. Fishes in some tanks just go right at the top after a few try. Fishes from other tanks just are not top feeder .. Those tanks are taller tank and fishes like to eat at the bottom ... So I might not feed worm to those tanks. I also have other tanks that use central air pump to the sponge filter .. Water current in those tanks are very high at the top.. Floating worm is not a problem in those tank, as the current will constantly get the worm go up and down.

    You could always build an upside down worm cone, that can suction to the bottom of the tank. I'm gonna build one myself.

    Exactly, just as long as it is attached near the bottom of the tank, upside-down.

    Ok, I'm gonna try that tonight since I have three of those feeders from when I used the live blackworms. I'll let you guys know how it works soon.

    Hey Joan, I am gonna make my own cone feeder out of tight vinyl fence but if those ones work, that would be perfect! Let me know!

    Ok! Works Perfect! They are all taking turns ( sort of ) grabing them out of the holes. A few are escaping from the bottom but not many. They are coming apart a little at a time and it seems a good way to feed these worms. Any shy feeder won't get many though. Maybe placing two feeders at both ends of tank will work even better.
