Most fish do love bloodworms, yet overall bloodworms are a very poor source of nutrients. I wouldn't feed them to my fish if I won a lifetime supply for free. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

LOL. I hope to get them back on track. Eventually they'll have to eat. ;-)
LOL, exactly!
I'm afraid that with some fish it's simply not in their best interest to be provided with tasty snacks.
If I only ate what I really liked, I'd be eating pizza 7 days of the week.
I know right? Lesson learned - the beauty of this hobby

Ive been using nls for the better part of a year and have had great results. The only gripe ive have with it is that the pellet size is not consistant. For instance i use 6mm sinking and 4.5 floating. The last 6mm pellets i got were no bigger than the 4.5mm. Same has happened with the 7.5mm I use one time i get it the pellet size is smaller or like this last batch I got alot larger. Im just curious to see if anyone else experienced this with NLS? I love the food just sucks when I can never get the same size pellet 2x in a row.

^yes I have with the smaller ones I use for geos, but not enough discrepancy to matter for the fish.
Don't have experience with larger pellets. But the ones I have are 3mm and I am amazed how uniform they are. Not that it matters as far as nutrition goes, but I have always gotten the size I wanted. I have yet to try the bigger pellets, I think I should given that they absorb more water than smaller ones.
The pellet size is pretty uniform in the container. My thing is i get a container of 6.5 mm. The next time i buy them the whole container of 6.5mm are the same size as my 4.5mm. Meaning the overall pellet size was 2mm smaller than it was supposed to be. I know they cant all be exact but why so much difference from one container to the next. If I get container of 6.5mm pellets they should be on average larger than the 4.5mm but they are identical to them.

4.5 & 7.5mm "floating" shouldn't have ever changed in size over the past 10 years - mine never have & I deal in large quantities. The 6mm (sinking) did in fact change in size last year, that is true. (different make of dies)
Poor excuse though, I agree sizes should always be consistent from one batch to the next.

You make them sound like they are terrible for your fish. Blood Worms every once in a while actually benefit your fish. But Blood Worms every day and nothing else then it is bad. They are best used as a rare treat IMO.
