pleco and dried bloodworms

[mmramos]

Hi,

I started feeding my fishes with dried bloodworm the other week. The common pleco was the one that keeps on eating it. It swims at the surface and keep on eating the bloodworm like a vacum cleaner. After two days I noticed the pleco became listless. Next day it's dead Is there some bad chemistry between a pleco and bloodworm I should take note of?

Thanks in advance.

From my own experience, freeze dried bloodworm often go bad when I keep them at room temperature.

So I think the problem is the bloodworm, not the combination of bloodworm and plec

Hmm.. that's strange. Maybe they weren't 'poisoned' enough?

But I would stop feeding freeze dried bloodworm if I were you.
