Flake bloodworms vs Frozen bloodworms

[all4koi 0]

I did an big order from Ken's Fish and also ordered their premium flake bloodworms to try. Here's the linky so you can see the ingredients.

So the question is, has anyone used these for grooming in place of frozen bloodworms? I'd like to think that this could be a good replacent for juvenile growth development especially wens. Your thoughts? Or experiences I'd used this before? Thanks!

I prefer frozen bloodworms, even for young fish. 6 weeks is about when I started last year's babies on FBW, with betta-sized cubes since they also have the smallest worms.

 

Right now I am only using the Ken's because I can't get FBW where I live.

Personally, I prefer frozen.  For me, feeding frozen bloodworms is an opportunity to provide your fish with a protein that is as close to the pure live food as possible.  This flake version, though still high in protein, is further processed much like a pellet, has a lot of additives and sort of defeats the purpose
