Is bloodworm better than brineshrimp?

We would have to say that on a nutritional level, brineshrimp and mysis offer a much broader nutritional profile than bloodworm, but on a visual level, bloodworm is usually more enticing.

Is frozen food better than live?

Each have their own merits, but frozen food tend to have more benefits than live. It does work out cheaper to buy a block of frozen bloodworm than to buy several individual bags that are mostly just water. Frozen foods are gamma irradiated and will not carry pathogens, parasites and unwanted hitchhikers, whilst live foods do have a small risk, especially if you tip the whole bag in instead of discarding the excess water.

Why do fish love Aquadip frozen bloodworm so much?

It’s all about aesthetics! Fish will readily accept bloodworm partly because of its bright colour, making it easy to spot and identify as a food source. It also resembles many of the worms and insect larvae that fish would naturally eat in the wild, so their instinct will tell them that this is good food.

Did you know? Despite the name, bloodworm are not actually worms. They are the larvae of non-biting midge flies and get their red colour from a natural form of haemoglobin that helps them survive in low-oxygen environments
