Freeze dried bloodworms

[bartnl]

So i just bought the freeze dried bloodworms and put it in my tank. I have 5 fish right now and every single one is a bottom dweller except for my mid to low red tail shark..these worms just sit at the top of the tank and don't sink...will they ever sink or will they just stay on top(my fish won't go up and eat them)

It's a good idea to soak them in some tank water for a while until they sink.

ok thank you

I will put the chunks in a net and hang that in the tank until the worms get soft and seperate. Then I take the net to the bottom of the tank and release the worms at a lower level. This usually allows time for the bottom dwellers to notice food and doesn't let the guys up top eat all the goods. Hope this helps.

hmm ok...the worms were in the tank for 2hours and they just stayed at the top so i just took them out, i guess i'll try your way next time or just wait until i get some top dwellers..i'll see..thanks
