Feeding elderly relatives bloodworm :-)
 

I gave my Dad (77 years) a cube of frozen bloodworm to feed the fish
tonight....thought he'd seen me do the other tanks but he
hadn't....woops....Dad doing very well and reports it mixes well with
Chardonnay - lol

Lesson....don't give elderly relatives frozen fish food to feed your
fish without warning - he, he

I bet it does. Recipe:

3 bottles chardonnay
1 cube frozen bloodworms
1 teaspoon horseradish

Instructions:

Drink all but two glasses of chardonnay. Wait until the two glasses
magically turn into four or six glasses. Plop bloodworms into horseradish
and eat all at once. Drink the last two glasses as chaser if you can
figure out which ones are the real ones.

:D

Welcome back ~Empty :). It's been a while.

I have no comment on this post, as I can't (or don't want to) imagine the
squishy sensation of biting into a block of midge fly larvae
(bloodworms).

Thanks :)

We had a housefire and a 4 day power outage that destroyed my last planted
tank. We moved but it never recovered (mostly because I was too
heartbroken to work with it). We moved from Seattle to Phoenix and I
stupidly gave it massive southern exposure to AZ sun. Two months ago I
finally got sick of it and decided to bring it back to life, so here I am
again :)

I am up to 3 tanks now, and NO MORE I SWEAR. Well, maybe a brackish to
breed nerites and amano... ARGH NO IT'S STARTING AGAIN!

Aw, c'mon. It tastes like chicken!

chicken, if I'm ever in Phoenix, maybe we could eat at a restaurant,
instead of your place ;~).

All I can say is I'm pretty sure bloodworm don't taste like chicken :-)
Liver or pate maybe....sure thing is that noone will ever get me to try...

Tried to get him to help feed brine shrimp tonight - he declined
needless to say - :-)

Sorry to hear about your problems and I hope that you and your family
came through OK and you didn't lose too much...

I'd be concerned about the potential for sensitization by eating the
bloodworms -- if they can cause problems just through skin contact, I'd
be concerned about the trouble caused by ingesting a cube of them.

But... but... how else are you going to see my tanks? :P

I promise, all chicken served in my kitchen is the terrestrial variety. I
leave the pleco-and-discus eating to the real fish geeks.
