Bloodworms?

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Ok when I get my tank I am going to get:

6 Harlequin Rasboras
2 Female Fancy Guppy

Now Questions:

1)Do Rasboras eat Bloodworms?

2)Can/or when should I feed the bloodworms to fry and how?

3)How do you exactly feed the bloodworms to your fish?

4)Can you touch the bloodworms if you had gloves on?

I know most of these must be noob questions but I'd rather ask now then be sorry later. Gratzi(thank you in Italian).

I found a website that says that Clown Loaches only get to 15cm(5 inches) is this true or not. I always thought they got to 7 inches or bigger(most definitely bigger)

Here is the website, http://www.brooklands.co.nz/tropical/clown.htm

yes, you can touch them. you dont need gloves unless you are worried about gross factor though. almost any fish will eat them too.

LOL! I have often wondered where you newbs find these sites. I have personally seen clown loaches over a foot long. They get huge!

No need to wear gloves with the blood worms unless you are allergic, if you are gloves won't help but a little bit. It's best to avoid even being in the same room as an open container of them.

I wasn't allergic, but over time I developed an allergy to blood worms and If I am any where near an open container I start sneezing and my neck gets all itchy. It really gets ugly if I touch them.

Feed them by just dropping them in the tank. You can feed them to fry when their mouths are large enough to fit the rather fat blood worm in its mouth.

For most trops blood worms should not be a staple in their diet it can cause major constipation. It should be more of a treat.

Personally, blood worms make my hands a itchy where ever they touch, so I have to wash them really quickly after feeding

Bloodworms are my fishs' favorite food

Yeah I will give them blood worms as a treat along with flake food, but mostly it will be for my guppies since they will be preggers.

yup. fish love bloodworms. They need to have some variation every now and then, so i would only do it mebee..... once a weekish. otherwise i assume they become un interested in normal flakes.

What fish don't eat blood worms?

Well I know that my friend had Rasboras that didn't eat bloodworms.
