Thread: Jehmco Frozen Bloodworms

  1. #1

    Question Jehmco Frozen Bloodworms

    It seems Hikari frozen bloodworms are becoming hard to come buy at the LFS, so has anyone tried Jehmco's Frozen Bloodworms, (midge larvae).

    http://www.jehmco.com/html/frozen.html

    Would you recommend them?

    Blkrob and I split a 15lb order of hikari frozen bloodworms from one of our sponsors (aquatic foods) awhile back. Terrific deal, and they arrived rockhard, in perfect condition-

    Send 'em an email, mention Simply, see what they can do for you... They carry a variety of other hikari foods and california balckworms, too...

    I order my FBW from DrFosterSmith. They have a flat shipping rate of $25.
    I usually wait till they are on sales (usually twice a year) and I order 25 to 30 lbs at a time.

    Someone post the following earlier ... Seems a better deal but 56 lbs is a lot...
    I don't have room to store that many in my refrigerator. Perhaps I will form a local group buy.

    Don't wait too long to order from Drs. Foster and Smith. In late December they told me that there was no frozen food sales this winter.

    Well, DrFosterSmith sent me a coupon book that has 15% off for food this month and one more later on the year. Or I might order from that Oregon website but I need to find a partner to share that 56 lbs .. Or I am actually thinking about using Mal's Freeze Dried Black Worm instead.

    I bought 12 lbs of Hikari BW from DF&S last week maybe I should have bought more.

    Does the 15% include frozen food? If so, lucky you. I am just telling you what they told me - no frozen Hikari semiannual sale. I buy about 24-25 lbs. each sale. Not this winter, however. There was none.

    Hello,
    I just got off the phone with Jehmco's Rep. about the 25% discount on frozen food (Hikari Blood worm). Yes, they will give you a 25% discount. I had a hard time getting the discount online .
    The 16 0z is $6.19. So , this is a good time to order from them.

    Sincerely,
    Perry

    Perry, did you mean to say Dr. Foster and Smith rather than Jehmco? Given Jemcho is not open on Saturdays and do not have Hikari BW listed.

    Thanks,

    I brought lots of stuff from John (Jehmco) but not FBW ... don't know the shipping cost but I imagine it's not cheaper than DrFosterSmith's $25 flat rate ?

    My bad ... just checked my coupon book .. It's 25% off instead of 15% off regular price, for All Aquarium and Pond Fish Food.

    http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/fp

    You will see the coupon code at that webpage.

    That coupon book is for entire year, different sales each month.
    Feb and May - 25% off food
    March - Free Black Diamond Carbon
    April - Free Stress Coat
    June and Nov - 50% ground shipping
    July - 25% off all filter media
    Aug - 20% all aquarium pond filters
    Sep - 15% off any $150 order
    Oct - 25% off all heaters
    Dec - 20% off lighting

    I still have some frozen BW left ..will order in May instead .. but perhaps by that time, I decided to switch to Mal's Freeze Dried Worm instead. Still couldn't figure out which one is cheaper.

    Anyone order from Oregon Desert Brine Shrimp before ?
    http://oregondesertbrineshrimp.com/O...st_020910.html
    They have 56lbs for $206, plus shipping (they told me about $60 to Los Angeles). That's about $4.64 per lb. I am actually looking for local people to share this 56lbs ...
