Puffin and the Bloodworms

The only down side to keeping a BettaFish are the bloodworms I feed them. They're packaged into frozen cubes which need submerging in a little water and as it melts the vile things seem to wriggle back to life. Don't be tempted to throw a whole cube in with your Betta because an all-you-can-eat buffet is in fact lethal. I used to think overfeeding led to some kind of gut-explosion and was the reason behind Rojo's untimely demise but actually because of excess food decomposing and releasing toxic nitrates into the water, which can happen very quickly. So, I'm afraid your thawed out legions need to be put back in the freezer. Just keep them away from the ice-cream, ugh!






























This is my new fish by the way. His name is Puffin and I love him. He's everything you'd want in a Betta; attentive, thoughtful, and even conscientious enough to "go" in his tree...

I use to be tempted to drop bricks of frozen worms into Phils bowel for the simple fact i wanted to get rid of those vile things that were in my freezer.
I quickly learned that was a serious no-no. Not only did it stink the bowel up, it pissed Phil off who now had to swim around in dirty sewage for the next week while waiting on those scrumptious betta flakes he was usually fed.

To all you rookies out there, remember this important lesson.
