:confused: hey everyone, i've introducede black worms into the diet, now all one of my fish will only eat this stuff, though he will eat fr. blood worms, any sugesstions would be great.:D

cut them off of the blackworms until they eat other stuff, may take a few days, they get hooked on the blackworms.

Hi, I use black worms and feed them once a day, for the past few months, but also I give them two feedings of beefheart and two feedings of bloodworms.

They eat everything. My 5 discus actually went the other way, and did not each much of black worms for a week, now they love them again.

Make your black worm feeding the last of the day...

I'm with Dan, if you feed blackworms, feed using blackworms at the end of the day, the next morning, they'll be hungry and more willing to eat other foods.

HTH,

I too agree totally, & feed BW's at the end of the shift. You don't see fish smash food so hard until they get the taste of live food! They tend to come off it easily, unless its the primary food used. Starve them for a while, they will come around.

I cut them out, they are too expensive and since I stopped using them the fish seem to have less problems. Not saying they are bad, just one less thing to worry about.
