you mean those $0.30 cents type??
I remembered while I was in primary school , my uncle would buy live bloodworms to feed his fish. But now Lfs don't seem to sell them anymore? What is the reason?
My fish list:
BEC, L14, L27c goldline, L27d goldline thunder, L27 xingu platinum, L47, L90a, L160, L190, L200A, L239, L255, L330, L418,
Steatocranus casuarius, Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma, Hyphessobrycon sp. White Fin, Puntius denisonii, Hyphessobrycon columbianus, Hemigrammus rythrozonus,
Satanoperca Daemon, Geophagus sp. ‘tapajós red head’, Geophagus steindachneri

i heard that the live bloodworms carry diseases. that's why it was omitted.
It's sold in frozen form these days. It's considered safer for the fish, apparently, parasites will be killed in the frozen process. You also don't have to keep changing water to keep the worms alive.
Evolution or Creation ? Life is the highest form of software engineering !
But tubifex worms also have parasites why they are still available now?

If what i heard is correct, it is because rearing bloodworms also breeds mosquito larvae, hence for health reasons they stopped importing it. After all bloodworms and mosquito larvae are quite similar, both are the young of midges and mosquitoes (which are similar) respectively, and require similar living conditions.

What's worst is i have live bloodworms in my cycling tank..trying to rid of them..
Aspiring to be.

Really? Which shop? The one in the market? They still selling the live blood worms? If so must head down to have a look.

Was at the market having breakfast the other day and saw a fish stall there. Didn't really have time to check the stall out though.
The one at blk 84 is the shop that sells a lot of bird cages also? Beside the pianyi dao siao shop last time?
Darwin Aquarium
ok thanks. I will check it out soon.
Keep us updated Bro s204 ok?
Maybe you can ask the Lfs why live bloodworms are so rare nowadays,
I think most of us want to know.
Thanks.
the uncle at my lfs said the live worms somehow carried parasites and all, i suppose the diseases that causes fish to die, that's why they stopped selling them.
Will do so. Today quite busy to go down to have a look. Will likely pop over during the weekends to check out if there is any live blood worms for sale and update here.
Saw them in pasir ris farm, Formosa, on the extreme left shop when u turn in.
But what is the reason you want to feed live blood worm?
Actually not me who wants to buy the bloodworms but my dad. He is an old timed hobbyist. He always believe that live blood worms can condition his breeding stock faster and better.
