Hello,

Um I know blood worms are cheap but I got a lot of fishes that love to eat them. Over time and also the additional cost of my other pets it becomes a matter worth paying attention to. Um besides that my question is, is there a way I can raise bloodworms so they reproduce? I mean what do they eat, I heard they live in frogs but you know I'm not going out to buy some frogs to feed to some worms lol. Anyone know a good alternative food material that bloodworms like to eat? Any other added items would be very appreciated, thank you. Do Bloodworms really eat blood? I guess I can spare a few drops, jk jk. Actually not really.

Take a read of this... Bloodworms are hard to raise in captivity...few have managed it..

Yeah I suspected trying to cultivate bloodworms would be a hard ordeal. Most of the websites I search don't even go near to describing how they reproduce or what they eat, thanks for the help. Well, bloodworms are cheap anyways, I guess I can spare a bit into that field. If I had more time I would try to see what I can do with that information plus additional info from some with more detailed sites or persons with experience in this subject. Anyways, thanks alot, I greatly appreciate your time and effort, hope it didn't bother you too much.

Not at all.. Sorry if I sounded short in that post..I'd been up almost 40 hours when I posted that so I was kinda tired... I don't mind looking things up for people most of the time.. depends on the subject really... Glad I could help though..
