Hello, while in a local fish store, I saw some bloodworms and decided,
what the heck I'll see if the fish like them. Well, when I came home I
put some bloodworms into the tanks and WOW! The fish went nuts ver the
bloodworms. They (the fish) are showing great color. My fish just love
the bloodworms, I am going back next week to pick up some Tubifex
Worms. If you are contemplating whether to give your fish something
besides flakes, pellets and wafers, give them a treat of different
foods, see what they like.

Bloodworms are indeed a good supplement to the fish's diet... so are
tubifex.... Any piscine diet should be diverse IMHO. My experience
with tubifex is that they are very rich... I don't generally recommend
feeding it more than twice a week as this might be compared to eating
pizza all the time, not appropriate from a dietary perspective.

Anyone have any contradictory thoughts on this?
