90ml package of live California blackworm.

Live Blackworms provide a large variety of nutritional benefits for your aquatic life, and are even an excellent choice for helping to condition new tropical fish, and supporting their health during breeding.

Live blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) are an exceptional, high-protein live food for picky aquatic pets, including finicky fish like Mandarinfish, Discus, Bettas, and Wrasses. Their natural movement triggers hunting instincts and they can live for weeks in the fridge or in the aquarium substrate.

Key Benefits for Picky Eaters:

High Palatability: Their movement makes them irresistible to even the most stubborn or wild-caught fish.

Nutritious: Rich in proteins and essential fatty acids to promote health and breeding conditioning.

Enrichment: Live feeding reduces stress and boredom, allowing fish to forage in the substrate.

Feeding and Care Tips:

How to Feed: Offer small portions using a pipette or tweezers to avoid overfeeding, though they can live in the substrate for a time.

Storage: Keep in a shallow container in the refrigerator, covering them with clean water. Change the water weekly to keep them alive for weeks.

Rinse well with cool, dechlorinated water before feeding to remove waste.

Blackworms are widely considered one of the best foods for getting finicky fish to eat.
