Bloodworms?

Re: Bloodworms?

I think with the cold weather most of my bloodworms died.  :(  But, I fed some to my wild bettas, and they liked them.

Awww, sorry to hear that  :( .

Maybe when, and if, the weather becomes more stable, you'll have more success.  But, at least your bettas got a treat  :) .

Yeah. I have that blue and white filter media and that's what they were in. I think I'll put more of that in a bucket and grow more worms.

Howdy,

The cold should not have killed the blood worms, mine make it through the winter with out any trouble.  Maybe you could write a paper about them for school credit.  It would be harder to figure out how to make it into a science fair project.  As Phisphreek said daphnia would make a better science fair project.

If you lost your blood worms and still want to grow some I could give you some or just put some old fish water outside in a 5 gallon bucket and maybe throw in some hornwort or anarachis.  Check the bottom of the bucket in a few weeks and you should find them living in their tube houses.  Very easy to raise with out trying and the fish love them to eat!  later, ken
