 Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:41 pm Post subject: Frozen Blood worms... |
 |
|
Recently i asked abt the flies tat have been breeding in my tank & found out tat it is cause by the frozen blood worms...
My next question: is there any types of FBW selling in the LFS tat will not cause the unconsumed FBW to turn into those flies as i found it really a sore to the eyes when they keep flying in the tank... Hope someone can answer my stupid question & also some FBW product as example... Thanks...  |

It is not caused by FBW. The flies are free to fly everywhere. Where there is water, the flies will visit especially outdoor and also in the morning.

Black.
Don't think this is the cause. Mine started long before I fed my GF with FBW. I used to feed only pellets and recently added FBW. Still have the same problem but the numbers getting less. Thanks. |

You can put a fine mesh over the top of the tank. This will prevent the fly from flying into your tank to lay its eggs. But then again, why want to get rid of a good think? One of the reason why goldfish kept outdoor tendsw to grow faster is because they have plenty of insects and natural bloodworms to eat 24/7.

Frozen bloodworm are not all totally dead. Belive me. I had saw some come back to life when I defrost them. ( Depend on the brand )
Anyway I still continue to feed my TVR. My TVR like it and I see good effects to their growth. |
