Jim_D 370 Posted April 8, 2015 Has anyone else ever rinsed frozen bloodworms in a micro fish net over a white bowl? Try it.....you'll be blown away with how red and mucky the water goes. I'll never put them in my tank again without rinsing them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chai 7,337 Posted April 8, 2015 I don't necessarily wash them in a net...but I do put them in a glass of clean water, wait until they thaw, swirl them around, and then dump the water out, giving my fish only the worms. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feed my pea puffer blood worms and the redder and messier the water is the happier he is 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyworking 71 Posted April 8, 2015 I just tried washing them a second ago. I did notice a bit of cloudy water while rinsing them and they seemed brighter red too! I definitely think I'm going to start rinsing them before I feed 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4prettyfish 2,702 Posted April 9, 2015 I think there was a conversation a couple of years ago about rinsing or not of frozen bloodworms. I thaw and feed. I haven't had any problem(s) and I hope I don't. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_D 370 Posted April 9, 2015 It's a way to save unnecessary stuff that's got to be gotten rid of by your BB. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mernany 3,708 Posted April 9, 2015 I don't really see the point. I mean if you are feeding it in your tank regularly and the BBs can take care of the extra "stuff" then why worry. It's not like the BBs are gonna complain about a little extra food I have thawed and fed it without rinsing since I found out about BW and have had not problems.. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course its a personal thing, but after seeing so much muck and red water coming off them.....why not have less nitrates in the tank for the simple task of a quick rinse under the tap? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
