Good product =3Jan 03, 2010
By Danielle Crews This is a good product for your little bettas or goldfish or whatever other carnivorous fishies you might have without all of the mess of live food. The only downside is that for some reason 1 in every 50 people can have an allergic reaction to freeze-dried blood worms. So don't rub your face after handling and wash your hands!

Not just a treat!Aug 19, 2011
By Randy J. Mercurio Don't look at this product as just an occasional treat for your fishes. This is a great product to feed your fishes once a day. I like it because it has some of the lowest phosphate levels in a dried fish food I can find. Phosphates cause algae blooms in your aquarium when they exceed certain levels, especially when combined with other chemical imbalances and lots of light (see my Aquarium Pharmaceutical's Phosphate Test Kit and Sea Chem's Neutral Regulator review!). Other dried flake foods can have as much as 1% or more of phosphate, which can increase the frequency you'll need to do water changes or have algae blooms. I think all aquarists will agree we want to keep that to minimum!
I feed this product to my freshwater tetra, catfish and shrimps regularly and they all love it. I can concur with the other reviews up to the date of this one that most smaller freshwater fishes will consume this product such as betas and goldfish. In the wild, fishes like tetras eat aquatic larvae of insects such as bloodworms, which is the larva to a non-biting fly. The guaranteed analysis is as follows: min. crude protein 65.0%, min. crude fat 5.0%, max. crude fiber 3.5%, max. moisture 6.5% and min. phosphorus 0.1%. It will float a little while when you first put it in your tank but the water is absorbed rather quickly and hopefully your filter's flow will knock some of it to the bottom for your bottom feeders.

fish like 'emJan 02, 2012
By George My fish like these but I have a problem with the size of the worms. Basically only about 1/10 of the package contains usable good sized worms the rest is just very tiny worms an powder. This powder is no good for the water. Anyway the fish love them but you don't get much use out a package.

I purchased this product for my Betta fish that ended up being a very picky eater. The Betta fish absolutely loves this food.

Worms!Nov 03, 2011
By Meyer Assoulin I have 3 Aranda Goldfish and since I began feeding them these freeze dried worms they have appeared to not only grow bigger but I am getting the sense that they can soon learn to speak english.
Amazing food.
