Feeding bloodworms?

[PuppyFluffer]

I have a new tank with an African Dwarf Frog. I have fed it black worms with success.

I just got some frozen bloodwroms since the LFS was out of blackworms.

Are their any tricks to feeding these? I assume I thaw them out and then place in tank in front of frog.

I also have two male bettas, each in their own 1.66 gallon tank. I tried the bloodworms on them and one of them loved them, the other ate one and said "no" to any more. Are they ok for the bettas occasionally?

they are ok as a treat for the bettas...for feeding to adf's i typically use a turkey baster

make sure you defrost them all of the way before you put them in the tank.

feeding fish and ADF's (still) frozen food can be hazardous.

I used to feed bloodworms to my ADF by first letting it thaw in a cup of tank water then feeding them using a 'baby bird-feeding' syringe that i would use similarly to how others use the turkey baster. The frogs saw the thing and would come over to it eventually.

let me expound on the method i used. I would put a small dish out of the direct flow of the filter and buried in the gravel. Then i would use the turkey baster to shoot a couple of blood worms into the shallow dish. Over time the adf's learned to go to the dish at feeding time to be fed. I fed them a mix of brine shrimp, tubifex, and blood worms which were defrosted in some tank water before feeding.
