Hi All,
I have read varying information regarding the impact of feeding worms from numerous sources. The worms I refer to are bloodworms and blackworms.
Specifically, bloodworms are a larvae and apparently their bodies are covered with hook-like odontodes. It’s these hook-like odontodes that can be detrimental to our fish, where the worms get caught onto the digestive tract system causing internal infection and ultimately death.
However I have also read information where breeders feed worms to their fish, and praise worms as a great source of high protein and conditioning food for imminent spawning activity.
Hence the reason for this survey/poll is to help me, and others, gather information on your real life experience with feeding worms to fish. By answering the following questions you will be providing great information, and will be much appreciated by me and other members.
The answers I’ve provided are examples only, so to give you an idea of what I expect. Please provide answers based on your real life experience.

Q2: Do you used frozen or live worms?

Q3: What brand of frozen worms do you use?
