Gamma Frozen Mini Bloodworm 250g

Gamma Frozen Mini Bloodworm 250g contains concentrated small bloodworms (Chironomus sp.), providing a naturally sized frozen food for smaller aquarium fish and species that find standard bloodworm difficult to manage.

Bloodworm is one of the most widely accepted natural frozen foods in fishkeeping, but the size of conventional bloodworm isn’t ideal for every fish. Mini Bloodworm provides the same type of natural prey in a much smaller format, making it particularly useful for smaller community species, juvenile fish and fish with small mouths.

Gamma Frozen Mini Bloodworm for Smaller Fish

The main reason to choose Mini Bloodworm rather than standard bloodworm is simple: size.

The smaller larvae are much easier for little fish to take whole, reducing the need to chop or break up larger bloodworm before feeding. This makes them particularly convenient in aquariums containing small tetras, rasboras, livebearers and other diminutive species.

Which Fish Can Eat Mini Bloodworm?

Gamma Mini Bloodworm is particularly useful for:

• Small tetras
• Rasboras
• Guppies and other livebearers
• Danios
• Small barbs
• Bettas
• Dwarf gouramis
• Dwarf cichlids
• Smaller catfish
• Juvenile fish large enough to accept frozen foods
• Discus and other fish that readily accept bloodworm

TMC also lists the food as suitable across marine, tropical, coldwater, cichlid and discus diets.

Mini Bloodworm vs Standard Bloodworm

Both foods contain bloodworm, but the size difference makes them useful for different fish.

Mini Bloodworm is the better choice for smaller species and fish with small mouths, allowing them to take individual larvae more easily.

Standard Bloodworm provides a larger, more substantial food and is generally more convenient for medium and larger fish.

If you keep several different sizes of fish, having both available makes it easy to match the food to the animals rather than expecting a tiny tetra to wrestle with a bloodworm the size of a garden hose.

Why Feed Frozen Bloodworm?

Bloodworm has a soft texture and natural appearance that makes it readily accepted by many aquarium fish, including species that can sometimes be reluctant to take dry foods.

It is useful for adding variety to a feeding routine and can be alternated with other appropriately sized frozen foods such as daphnia, cyclops, brine shrimp and mysis.

Bloodworm should be offered as part of a varied diet rather than relied upon as the sole food.

Gamma Irradiated Frozen Fish Food

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

The 250g flat-pack format is particularly convenient for fishkeepers with multiple aquariums or anyone who feeds frozen bloodworm regularly.

How to Feed Gamma Mini Bloodworm

Remove only the amount required and defrost before feeding.

Introduce a small amount at a time, allowing the fish to consume the food before adding more. The small individual larvae disperse easily throughout the aquarium, so relatively little food can go a surprisingly long way.

Feed only as much as your fish will consume within a few minutes and remove significant uneaten food promptly.

Use alongside other appropriate foods as part of a varied diet.
