I think I got side-tracked. I remember reading it....

Tower Bridge is not that far, that you'd need an air fare. Lovely accommodation, I've heard.

How do you guy feed you Tubifex / BloodWorms? My bloodworms were frozen, in sort of chocolate block squares. Because I was uncertain how the fish would take to it, I dipped it in, and let it break up between my fingers.

But I'm thinking it may be better to just drop it in, and let it break apart on the floor.

OH THAT BRIDGE
i feed both live & frozen bloodworm live when i can get it fresh as its good for the fish as it keeps them active as they have to chase it & someone a long time ago told me it helped stop fish becoming constipated i dont collect my own bloodworm in case i inadvertantly introduce somthing i dont want in the tanks i.e any blood parasites knew sombody that once did wiped out his entire tank the frozen i buy in blister packs & i defrost as much as i need at any one time in a tub with water from which tank i will be feeding idont think it is a good idea to put frozen bloodworm directly into a tank as it could possibly cause internal damage if they eat it frozen ( just had a vision of your fishes on the beach sat in deck chairs having an ice lolly )
i tend to only feed freeze dried tubifix for obvious reasons (see above link)
the other worm i use are whiteworms of which i feed live

The frozen bloodworms i use come in blister packs with the chunks you described, i break out a couple and drop em in the tank, the angels do a fine impression of pirhana and any worms that manage to get to the bottom the loaches or corys get. Once they get used to it you'll find most fish love bloodworms. Not so keen on feeding tubifex though as it can cause more problems than it solves (as in the link above) but I have tried the freeze dried stuff with is supposed to be cleaned and sterilsed before processing.

I had to think of a bridge quickly, to save myself an Air Fare!

I would imagine the frozen worms would warm up rather quickly. It certainly doesn't take much to have it break up, when dipping.

I had a tin of freeze dried worms of some kind, last year. They were really compressed into tablet form. I've not tried the cubes as yet.

Oh yeah, for some reason I was thinking that Tubiflex was a medicine or something. I don't know where my brain was. I have the dried kind too, and I feed it to them a couple times a week. I love it when I'm squishing it into the water and they come up and start feeding from my hand. I'm glad to know that it seems to help with the cories' barbels! Thanks for the info, Fishypaw!

We've a TV Vet here, by the name of Doctor Harry.

He happened to be doing Fish Tanks tonight when I wandered past. He was feeding live worms, he didn't say which, but they were a pinkish white, and don't think any made it to the gravel!

He reckons you should feed twice a day. Theory being, that fish naturally fossick for food all day. And so they're just snacking all day. The double feed, not too much of course, keeps their metabolism running at the nice speed it should be.

Although, he did later make a comment about the fish letting you know if you'd got it wrong, because they'll be gasping at the surface!
