Freeze Dried Blackworms

[Prowler66gt]

I know that live blackworms are an excellent food for fish but will the freeze dried version provide any of the benefits that live does?

Freeze dried blackworms have the same nutritional values. They are easier to use as well since you aren't purchasing and/or culturing live worms.

I use them for my CBB. The wrasses and foxface gobble them up, too. I can't say anything about nutritional value. Should be about the same if not a bit better than frozen blackworms. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never heard of it, what is a blackworm? You are not talking about Bloodworm?

Not Bloodworms. California blackworms. Quick Google search will tell you everything

No, those aren't going to work for a picky fish like CBB. Try these:

Noting that for later.

What I'd really love are frreze dried black worms that would work in an Avast Plank!

Why wouldnt they work? Too small? I dont have a plank but have been thinking about getting one.
I do feed live black worms about every 2 weeks.

They may have some nutritional benefits but not as much as the whole live worm.

The ones I have are in freeze dried cubes. I think the same company has bulk freeze dried loose worms, but I haven't tried that yet. Would need to be loose and small enough to enter into the Plank's auger without crunching up to dust. Too big and it will just sit on top while the auger turns.
