I've been trying some of the freeze dried foods lately - some reading
I've been doing suggests that today's freeze dried foods may be better
preserved than frozen. I have no facts to back this claim, but I've
been feeding freeze dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp from
Omega, and my fish can never get enough of it.

I've never been brave enough to feed tubifex in any form. I have had
enough trouble with blackworms (and they're not even grown in sewage) to
make me hesitate.

Tubifex can cause trouble even after going through the cleaning and
freeze drying process?
