woo my gar finally eats frozen bloodworm!:headbang2
The only thing is they eat up to 10-15cubes a day! about the same price as feeders but abit cheaper
maybe regular bloodworm and goldfish feeders can help me save abit :D

I think its great that you got your gar to eat something other than feeders, They can get expensive really quick.

Gars are not hard to get to eat things other than feeders most of these fish are naturally opportunistic..Longnosed are a different story somewhat but can still be easily trained to prepared foods.

This is not really difficult..

Your not feeding the bloodworm cubes fully frozen to the fish are you??
If so thats not that good man....Gars are cold blooded (ectothermic) animals..Feeding them fully frozen foods is not very good for their digestive system or their health..
ya i knew that i stopped right away at the 4-5th cube caused i suddenly remembered that :eek: .they were not fully frozen ,melted halfway though they were spreading the loose worms all over the tank when swallowing it luckly there the climbing pearch to clean it all up.:D
its now mainly feeding on market prawn ,FD shrimp and goldfish feeders;)
