Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Blood Worms for Pets, 0.42-Ounc

Good quality and large amount. Will definitely buy again.

Good quality,I have been using it for three years and my fish are very healthy

I’d just received these bloodworms, and I’m really impressed. My Betta’s, Kevin, and Carl went NUTS over these. I love that there’s zero additives, nor preservatives. I’ve lost other Bettas due to poor product, so this gives me peace of mind.

These blood worms are the all time favorite of our fish. I completely soak them in aquarium water and drop some in a little at a time. I typically use a small saucer of aquarium water for soaking and a small spoon to drop in a few worms at a time. Then I just pour in the remainder after most of the worms are gone from the saucer. Our fish gobble up these worms within seconds. Below, I've listed the entire nutrient content of the blood worm food. Also, to help you see the differences in some of the foods Hikari offers, I've written lists of nutrient content as they appear on some other product containers. I know, you will probably glaze over after a few moments due to all the scientific terms. However, my hope is that you can make educated decisions about which foods you want to purchase based on what I've recorded here. The six foods I listed below are products we actually use ourselves. First, there are a few things that I have noticed about the other foods I've listed: - Of all the Hikari products I've worked with, the blood worms contain the most protein (65%). - The algae wafers contain "bakery products." I wanted to know exactly what the bakery products are, so I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "This is a proprietary ingredient that we have identified as containing higher levels of lipids that fish can readily utilize and also offers an efficient carbohydrate component." - The Hikari micro pellets contain monosodium glutamate. I really wanted to know why this is in their fish food (MSG typically has a negative reputation.) I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "You must have an older package of the Micro Pellets as MSG has been removed from all of our products as a result of many concerns raised by US consumers. We have used this ingredient in the past, in very small amounts, as a flavor enhancing ingredient. As you may know, this is a commonly used human food ingredient in Asian markets and other parts of the world also. We have done extensive testing before including it (as is the case with any ingredient we use) and found no negative impact on the fish in the short term or long term."
