Gamma Frozen Bloodworm 250g

Gamma Frozen Bloodworm 250g is a larger flat pack of natural bloodworm, one of the most widely accepted frozen foods for aquarium fish. Its small size and soft texture make it suitable for an enormous range of species, from community tropical fish through to coldwater fish, cichlids and discus.

Bloodworms are the aquatic larvae of non-biting midges (Chironomus species). Their natural appearance and movement as they disperse through the aquarium can produce an enthusiastic feeding response, making them particularly useful for adding variety to a diet based primarily on flakes, pellets or granules.

Gamma Frozen Bloodworm for Aquarium Fish

Bloodworm is especially useful because relatively small pieces can be eaten by fish with very different feeding habits. Midwater species readily pick them from the water while many bottom-feeding fish will search through the substrate for pieces that reach the bottom.

This makes bloodworm particularly convenient for mixed community aquariums where several species need to be catered for at the same feeding time.

Which Fish Can Eat Frozen Bloodworm?

Gamma Frozen Bloodworm can be offered to a wide variety of appropriately sized fish, including:

• Tetras and rasboras
• Barbs and danios
• Gouramis
• Bettas
• Angelfish
• Discus
• Dwarf and larger cichlids
• Corydoras and other catfish
• Loaches
• Goldfish and other coldwater fish

It can also be useful for fish that are reluctant to accept dry foods, as the natural smell and appearance often produce a much stronger feeding response.

Why Feed Frozen Bloodworm?

Bloodworm provides an easy way to introduce a natural animal-based food into an aquarium diet.

It is particularly useful for providing dietary variety, conditioning fish and encouraging reluctant feeders. Because it is readily accepted by so many species, it is also one of the most practical frozen foods to keep available when maintaining several different aquariums.

Bloodworm should still form part of a varied feeding routine rather than becoming the sole food. Rotating it with appropriately sized foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, mysis and cyclops provides greater nutritional and feeding variety.

Why Choose the 250g Gamma Slice?

The larger 250g flat pack is ideal for fishkeepers who use bloodworm regularly, maintain larger aquariums or have several tanks to feed.

Rather than opening numerous smaller blister packs, the slab allows you to remove the amount required for each feeding while keeping the remainder frozen.

Gamma frozen foods are rapidly packed, sealed and frozen before undergoing gamma irradiation as part of TMC’s food-safety process.

How to Feed Gamma Frozen Bloodworm

Remove the amount required from the frozen pack and defrost before feeding.

Introduce a small quantity at a time and allow the fish to consume it before adding more. Feed only as much as will be eaten within a few minutes and remove significant uneaten food before it begins to affect water quality.

Use alongside other appropriate frozen, fresh and prepared foods as part of a varied diet.
