SamH Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I've found excess food of almost any type, but especially bloodworms will cause dropsy in fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Feeding bloodworms more than on the odd occasion will increase the number of them developing dropsy. The other thing is that you sell quite a few of your - it would be far kinder to the purchasers to have them eating a variety of dried foods as well. People aren't going to purchase a pack of bloodworms and chop off a few each day for a single fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Culture your own lumbriculus. Cheap as chips. No problems and good growth. Very good for conditioning if you are breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
