Tubifex worms are a great source of natural protein for many different types of fish. This freeze-dried option offers a very similar taste and texture to live tubifex worms but without the worry of harmful bacteria or parasites. Tubifex is also commonly used by breeders to spawn fish like corydoras, discus, bettas, and other fish that need a lot of protein. You can feed the cube by floating it at the surface, breaking it into pieces, or even sticking it to the tank wall.
Stick It to the Glass
You can press and hold the tubifex worm cube against the glass, squishing out the air. The cube will then stick on the tank wall, letting you watch your fish up close. (Note: some bigger, aggressive eaters can pull it off the glass.)
Float It or Break It Up
Freeze-dried foods naturally float so simply drop a cube at the surface to provide enrichment for the fish as they chase it around the tank. If you want to spread around the food to feed shyer fish, you can also break up the cube under water.
Whole Tubifex Worms Without a Freezer
You can leave your freeze-dried foods right by the aquarium. No refrigeration or freezer required. No additives — just 100% tubifex worms that are gut-loaded with healthy nutrients and freeze-dried into an easy-to-feed cube.
