Feeding live bloodworm

Hi,
This is a dumb question but I've never fed any live food to any of my
fish -
they take and enjoy the frozen stuff. However, I've got a problem with
some
Ich ridden Clown Loaches that are just not feeding and are getting weaker.

I thought I might try giving them live bloodworm. Do I just stick it all
the
tank at once, buy some sort of feeder, or just put the required amount in
the tank and find a way of storing the others?

Thanks
Gill

I use the feeders for bloodworm for my angels. For clowns, it sinks very
quickly to gravel, much faster than frozen. As it's the first time, I would
add a few by hand or turkey baster, near where they feel safest at first,
about 6 each. To keep it fresh, keep in covered jug, change most of water
every day (tap water not tank) and keep in fridge. It should last 5 or 6
days. They should find it irrestible. They will eat as much as you give
them, so increase amount once they like it, which hopefully is straightaway
so they get better quickly, pushing each other around as they eat it, a
mini rugby scrum. All my fish love it. Mary
