wteoh1 22 Posted July 27, 2012 You guys have the frozen bloodworms from Hikari. The crude protein it says is only 6%. I feed them to my betta occasionally and the leftovers to my Goldfish. Truly, how much protein are in the bloodworms? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akari_32 18 Posted July 27, 2012 I have the Hikari Bio-pure and it also says 6%. Weird. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evening 102 Posted July 28, 2012 Protein is listed by weight, and most of the weight in frozen bloodworms is water. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted July 28, 2012 Protein is listed by weight, and most of the weight in frozen bloodworms is water. I'm not sure why would would find it weird that it's 6% protein. The San Francisco Bay brand is only 3% protein. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akari_32 18 Posted July 28, 2012 I meant that it's so "low" in protein. Or at least that everyone says they're so high in protein, but then it's only 6%. I guess compared to other foods they're high. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evening 102 Posted July 28, 2012 They're actually almost nothing BUT protein. Their dry weight is like, 80% protein IIRC. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess compared to other foods they're high. They are pretty high in protein, and not at all in terms of fillers. If you remove the moisture (water) out of the equation, blood worms are 1/2 protein by weight, or more. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallimsayin 1 Posted July 31, 2012 I haven't tried these for my goldfish yet but it appears they have more protein than is found in the brand I usually buy. I'll have to check the box. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
