kiwiplymouth Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 thanks so much kiwiplymouth!!! Hopefully my fish can figure out what they are, and I can feed them these instead of frozen bloodworms No Worries. To me it's all about keeping our fish happy and reducing our work load. If we can feed them food that they prefer and reduce the mess, fuss and water changes we cant lose. If you guys like them ( and your fish like them) then I can get larger amounts into the country and keep shipping and M.A.F costs to a minimum. Unlike some members of this site and the auction site i will not be trying to make a 300% profit. If i can cover my costs and make a modest profit to cover my time and effort then i will happy.

Ira Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Got mine a few minutes ago. Fish seem to love them. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten the effect bloodworms have on my and didn't wash my hands immediately after touching them, it appears freeze dried ones do the same. So, I'm sitting here with my nose running like mad, sniffling with a sore throat after just 15 minutes or so. Stupid me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I remember reading somewhere that some people were allergic to bloodworms but never met or talked to anyone who could comfirm it. Perhaps using a teaspoon next time will help. I glad the fish like them. Take a heyfever pill if you have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I gave my nose a really good blow and that seems to have minimised it. Though, I'm glad I didn't rub my eye, before I figured out the cause once I rubbed my eye...Which made it itch and water. So of course I rubbed it again which makes it itch and water more which means more rubbing... Ended up with a huge bubble on the white of my eye, but after 3-4 hours I was totally back to normal.

Stella Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Mine arrived today too, thanks! (Apparently people with dist mite allergies have a higher incidence of bloodworm allergies. I have heard of it being so bad in some people that they get a rash if they dip their arm in a tank that was fed bloodworms a few days previously!)

kiwiplymouth Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Stella, I'm pleased that they are starting to arrive. I posted them last Wednesday and was expecting some feedback by Friday or the weekend. I was starting to worry that my MAF issues were ongoing and that they were not going to let me send them around they country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Betta Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 isn't there warnings on the packets of freeze dried bloodworms to avoid contact with skin or something? Personally haven't used them in ages because my fish weren't interested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen2289 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 i got mine last night! it took a while for the fish to work out what they were but once they did they loved them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 If anyone wants some more I can supply it for $0.95 a gram. Thats under half the price of similar stuff on the auction site at the moment. 1.5 grams has about the same amount of bloodworm as 100g of frozen product.

Luke* Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i actually found my fish never went for them either, and i heard something about them possibly getting worms off them (as in fish contracting worms via the freezedried worms?) tho this could be hearsay. an easy way to feed out normal bloodworms is put them on a paper towel. as they melt the towel soaks up the nutrient laden liquid. and ps that was nice of you to send them all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
