i jsut got my white cloud mountain minnows yesterday, and they seem very healthy but i put some frozen bloodworms inside their tanks (male and female for breeding pair) and they have not even touched them. does anyone have any suggestions or know more first-hand experiences with white clouds (ive already read about them enough)???
 
You know my fish (Dwarf Gouramis and Silvertip Tetra's) won't eat bloodworms either, but they love Daphnia.
 
If the fish have never had worms before, it may take them a little while to realize that the worms are supposed to be food. How many times have you tried to feed them? And yeah, it may also simply be a matter of taste. Maybe they just don't like bloodworms. Try little bits of other foods too, and see what they'll take and what they won't.
 
oh ok thx for that info i also gave them crushed bits of spiraluna disks and only the female at it when i was in the room, i also gave them slow sinking tropical fish food, and some of those beta bits from Top Fin. it seems i may have to do a water change soon since most of the food is just lying in there (no filter just a bunch of anacharis)
