Live Food/Black Worms (Urgent-ish)

[FishyKat]

My flame wrasse isn't eating, and I want to try to entice her with live food. (she has had parasites and I am treating with Metro and Focus).

anyone have any in the Nassau area (Mineola through Farmingdale) that I can purchase that she may like? Live black worms?

Anyone know of any stores that has them? I will call when they open.

I think petco has black worms

Is it the one in a can by the reptile section? if so, that's OK for fish? (I recall seeing it briefly long ago, making sure its the right one)

[FishyKat]

thank you, will give them a call before I make a trip out there

No they usually have them in the back but caribian blue and pets wairhouse should have them also

Kat,
Black Worms are usually sold alive.

Found some live black worms at pets warehouse. Petco did not have

Thanks for the reply all! Let's hope my fish will eat them

I'm glad you found them. That's where I get mine as well. I was surprised to find out some Petland Discounts have them too. There is one near my work that I go to if Pets Warehouse is out of them.

 

[FishyKat]

thanks! I hope she'll eat them. PW was out of mysis shrimp, or I'd get those too. I'll start with the worms

 

[FishyKat]

Came home to find her gone

 

[lagatbezan]

sorry you lost her
what parasite were you treating for?

 

[FishyKat]

she had white stringy poop. Started to lose weight. Every time she ate, she'd spit her food back up.

I did a FW dip on her body and I think it was flukes
