live blackworms

Wiz · Oct 7, 2015

Just ordered 3/4lb and two "keepers" from california. A bit expensive but my fish deserve the best. I also want to get my male manderin beefed up. He is eating but not a lot. Only fresh hatched brine which is a pain to provide everyday. Not to mention getting to him.
The worms came in overnight. Best shipping I've had. Came in a styrofoamed box with foil lining and ice pack. They are so lively. My fish love them. And my corals grab them alot better than regular food. Which alone is worth it. My elegans, frogspawns, plate, bubble, acans, bta's, etc.. all grab and eat them. Great investment.Still gotta figure out how to target feed my manderin.
The keepers are sweet too. And I'm told I don't have to feed them, but I asked what I can since I got so many. I want to keep them healthy. Pellet and flakefood. Which I have on hand. Rinse once a day or two to keep them clean. And there you go. Awsome. Had to share

A small glass jelly jar laid on its side makes a great feeding station for Mandy's. Using a turkey baster add several worms to it and watch the Mandy take over [emoji2]

Do you have any pics or videos of feeding time? I would be very interested in seeing your process. Thanks.

My glass needs a cleaning. Lol but I will get one today or tomorrow and post it. I just put some in the water for now. Free floating. And I tried a few in my baby brine feeder. Not sure if they can get out though. Gonna try a jar tomorrow. I also use a syringe to get some near corals. Vid soon

I feed them everyday. My fish freak over them. I was feeding LRS which they love and go after aggressively,but black worms took it to a new level of feeding!. I feed a mix of LRS and throw in some black worms with it, my fish will eat the black worms first before anything else now, even Mysis. Heck even my Bangai will shoot across the tank for the worms! That fish wouldn't hardly move for food before the black worms.
And talk about getting some leopard wrasses fat, black worms are the trick.

The fish and corals really like em! Thanks for the link fishmommy. Great company. Fast awsome shipping. All super lively.

hope the jar works for my manderins.

Yep, six line, flame angel, bangai, yellow watchman, clown, and especially my springeri! You should see his fat belly! Lol

Reef frenzy

buzzword · Oct 7, 2015

I use only LRS fish frenzy and Reef Frenzy. Fish and corals love em both.

143MPCo · Oct 7, 2015

I like the frenzy and herbivore mix the best, have not tried any others.

Live blackworms are the best food ever! High in protein, and great for enticing a feeding response from finicky species like Moorish Idols & CBBs. My mandarins even eat them! You can also target feed them to nems and LPS corals with sweepers.
