I picked up a storebrand tubix stuff to feed my fish today, and I got it home and went to feed them...Well, after about 30 minutes the cube was still floating around... Anyone have any experience with this type of stuff? Its like a small dry cube. the container says Tubifex-Wuerfel. It has nothing but german so I can't really read it that well.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

If it is those dry cubes that need no refrigeration I suggest the first time you use it, break a cube in half and float in a small class. After a while you will be able to squeeze it with your fingers and it will start to fall apart. The fish don't know that floating cube is food. After they get used to it you can use an entire cube if the fish eat it all. Mine never liked it too much.
 
well...they dont seem to like it too much. I just thought I'd try to vary their diet some. I also picked up some frozen red mosquito larvae and they seem to like that ok. I used to give them frozen blood worms and everyone enjoyed that, even my pleco.


Thanks for the help,
Plainz
