TSN/RTC Hybrid (turkeydogs?)

[justonemoretank]

You mash them up, add a bit of water, frezee, then serve!!!

I wouldn't feed frozen anything. Why would you create a situation where the fish is having to first thaw the food in his stomach, which is not at 98.6, but is at the temperature of the water, because fish are cold-blooded? Do you own a large cat? If so, you would find this is NOT cost effective, anyway. I'm not trying to be nitpicky, but if someone asks a question, they need good information. Not something that's going to cost thirty dollars per meal. No one that I know of feeds bloodworms to fish that are a foot to a few feet long. Perhaps you are very rich, and you do, but in case this isn't the case, I'm just stressing the importance of offering real, tried-and-true information. Otherwise, you're doing a disservice to the individual who's trying to find out what's right.

I always feed frozen... I let it sit in aquarium water for a while to heat up, then serve... do you not know how to serve frozen foods?

Rich??? Man I buy those freeze dried bloodworms and freeze them up so they can sink... whatz wrong???

and I do have a ID cat a 3 foot long... he eats bloodworms all the time... I throw them in his mouth... he's trained... as well, I will be the first person you've heard of feeding a 3 foot long ID shark bloodworms by throwing them in it's mouth.

If you thaw them out, then that's not feeding it frozen. I thaw frozen foods as well. I don't have an ID cat, but I have an RTC, and I know there's no way I could afford to keep him in bloodworms. Also, I don't feed freeze-dried foods, because they are linked to constipation.

Your post did not include the part about thawing them out. This is what I mean about providing the best possible information. The directions weren't even clear enough for me to understand, and I have a lot of tanks and a lot of fish. The OP certainly wouldn't have understood it, as he's still trying to figure out whether or not to feed hotdogs to his catfish.

Edit: Perhaps the problem is the name of the worm. A bloodworm is usually less than an inch long. Are you talking about some other type of worm? I'm just trying to picture your three-foot catfish filling up on worms that are half an inch long.

well since we are having a debate in the middle of someone elses thread I'll just say one more thing to prove, me, the proposition has won this debate... the frozen is for my small ID's... my big ID gets shrimp, massivore pellets, and raw fish. Bloodworms, I throw in it's mouth for fun, since he has a big mouth, he'll swallow them and give him extra energy...

Anyways, OP, you can feed your catfishy raw fish, seafood from the market and massivore pellets...

OP, don't try and fill your catfish up on bloodworms. Fish filets, shrimp, and squid are much, much cheaper, and are in actual catfish-sized meals. Use the massivore as a once- or twice-weekly feeding to ensure he's getting all of the vitamins he needs, because it is very expensive. Also, try and locate the Aqua-Stable I mentioned, because it's a very cheap sinking pellet.

I was trying to share a experiance but you vulguiously denied it. The frozen were for my small ID's and the frozen chunks, for the big one. I wanted peace not another attack...

Well I agree for the foods for the OP that you suggested.

ive been keeping fis for years and i have kept upwards of 60 healthy fish. i have never owned a hybrid and was curious what i could feed him because his BREEDER told me he was raised on hotdogs... so im switching him over to massivore thanks to the good guys on here who are willing to help. not to those who are on here because they have nothing better to do.

thanks guys
