    Default Feeding cone for freeze dried and frozen worms

    Has anyone used a feeding cone for freeze dried or frozen worms

    I normally just stick the fd cubes to the glass but im wondering if this would be a good option for the frozen to stop them flowing around the tank

    From reading customer reviews i have heard the holes may be too small

    Worm cones are great for both..

    For frozen worms.. open end up near surface..

    Freeze dried worm. Open end down.... below water surface

    Feed away

    Oh I see so invert the cone and place say midway down the glass for FD

    And open end out of the surface and right way up for frozen?

    Thanks will have to get one of them

    I'm guessing a large one would do best?

    Yes, a larger one is better. How many discus do you have an what size is the tank. I have a 125 gallon and have twelve discus in there so I have three feeding cones so everyone gets some food.

    55g? I think it's about 190 litres and 5 discus but then there are some tetras and rummy noses etc

    Maybe one on either side would be better

    Anyone possibly have a video or pic of the cones in action with the FDBWs?

    I seem to recall someone on here having some videos last fall/winter of some of their discus eating FDBW from an inverted cone, but cannot find them.
