CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Anybody know how to make freezedried bloodworms sink or at least clump together? I'm trying to feed them to His Royal Highness Timid Picky Jack Dempsey the 1st who has decided he will eat tubiflex.

It would probably be easier and cheaper to just buy them from the store. I think a pack of 30 frozen cubes are only $5 at petsmart. And they are put out by hikari so they are "gauranteed" to be free of disease or parasites and stuff. I could be mistaken though on the price but I know its in the neighborhood of 5 bucks...

But I already have a little can of loose ones that are treats for all of the fish besides His Highness Picky!

Then if he doesn't eat with the rest of them. Let 'em die! I bet will eat before he starves himself. It's a natural born instinct to survive. He'll eat! Don't give in to the male species!

Last time I checked male was a genetic disorder associated with having a y chromosome instead of the positive double x genotype, not a species. Anyway picky pants the JD lives in my little 40 gallon pond and the only thing he will eat off of the surface is globs of tubiflex.There are platies in the pond for him to eat but he never bothers fish smaller than himself anyway, so now the platies are pets! He associates food with stuff that sinks or floats in globs so I'm trying to make the bloodworms gloop together or sink. And yes gloop is a technical term!

Well, it's just that men are born smarter, they know their alphabet, ie x, y, z........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sorry folks...I'm gonna stop stiring the pot.

My husband always goes out. If he doesn't he whines like a baby till I say it's ok!

Yea...it's probably better to get him out your hair every once in a while anyways! I don't blame you one bit. So you can have "peace & quiet" every blue moon!

No thanks to any of you my messy bf figured out how to get the bloodworms to sink.This was a colabrative project btw men! Anyway we stuck them in an Absolut cap and added water and stirred.I don't know if the picky rat ate them though when they sank.

Good job Hip. BTW you are our offical experimental analysis agent. You get to do the projects that no one knows about and then report your findings to us, so we all know for future references! Again..good job! We gonna have to do something about that title of yours. Keep up the good work!
