Hey fishie people welcome back to the channel I am coming at you with a new series called
365 days of fish keeping, That means for the next 365 days I will be
posting 1 video a day highlighting a fish, plant, food or anything else fishkeeping related.
These videos will be quick little snapshots of the subject for the day, if we are talking
about fish or plants you will get a quick synopsis and care guide.
Same with food or equipment, I will also give them a score from 1-10 for my personal like
or dislike of the topic for the day.
As always thank you so much for the support and please remember to SMASH that sub button.
For this video I want to look at a fish food that has slowly become a staple in my feeding
regimen and one that I go through rather quickly.
That food of course is Hikari Freeze Dried Tubifex worms are a wonderful food treat to
introduce into your fish’s diet especially if you can not get the frozen version.
Since it is a freeze dried food it comes with a silica packet to help keep the container
moisture free.
Word of advice, do not take this out or your food will get soft and lose its more pressed
nature of the cube.
Even with extremely humid weather here in my state over the summer these little packets
were able to keep them dry inside even if I didnt have a perfectly tight lid on the
container.
This food is very high in protein so it will be well received by your fish, and you can
press it up against the glass and watch the feeding frenzy begin once the fish get the
cept.
Tubifex worms are small worms that inhabit the sediment of many lakes and rivers around
the worm and you could even do a worm culture if you want to try the live variety.
But for me it is just easier to go out and get myself some Hikari freeze dried version.
They use a pharmacy grade dehydration method and a bio encapsulate multi vitamins into
the food and best of all their is no artificial colors or preservatives added to the food.
As it is a freeze dried Tubifex worms the ingredient
list is very small containing only Tubifex Worms, a vitamin E supplement, Vitamin C,
Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B12.
The Crude Protein is 60%, fat 6.5% fiber .3% Vit 3 60mg/kg, Vit B2 20mg/kg and B12 is 2000ug/kg.
This food is a great thing to add into your feeding regime for all freshwater fish, and
works especially well for smaller cichlids and DIcus which might be more picky eaters.
I personally feed
this to all my fish from tetras, rasboras, bettas, corycats, catfish, rainbows, guppies,
mollies, and all my fish love when they get this as a treat.
I feed it one a week or once every other week as something extra in their mix.
Over all this food is an awesome food to use and I am so happy I stumbled upon it a couple
years ago and have been feeding it ever since.
It was easily accepted by all my fish and I never had any issue with them taking it.
I some times break it up in some tank water in a small container and then dump it into
the water collum and watch the fish swarm in and out guppling it up.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something different to add fish food wise.
The only problem I have found is being able to find it in stock in a few places I shop,
but other than that I have never had any bloating issues with this food and would give it a
10 out of 10.
