Review: By Far the Favorite Food of All Our Fish - Very high in protein - Also, complete comparison with other Hikari foods - These blood worms are the all time favorite of our fish. I completely soak them in aquarium water and drop some in a little at a time. I typically use a small saucer of aquarium water for soaking and a small spoon to drop in a few worms at a time. Then I just pour in the remainder after most of the worms are gone from the saucer. Our fish gobble up these worms within seconds. Below, I've listed the entire nutrient content of the blood worm food. Also, to help you see the differences in some of the foods Hikari offers, I've written lists of nutrient content as they appear on some other product containers. I know, you will probably glaze over after a few moments due to all the scientific terms. However, my hope is that you can make educated decisions about which foods you want to purchase based on what I've recorded here. The six foods I listed below are products we actually use ourselves. First, there are a few things that I have noticed about the other foods I've listed: - Of all the Hikari products I've worked with, the blood worms contain the most protein (65%). - The algae wafers contain "bakery products." I wanted to know exactly what the bakery products are, so I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "This is a proprietary ingredient that we have identified as containing higher levels of lipids that fish can readily utilize and also offers an efficient carbohydrate component." - The Hikari micro pellets contain monosodium glutamate. I really wanted to know why this is in their fish food (MSG typically has a negative reputation.) I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "You must have an older package of the Micro Pellets as MSG has been removed from all of our products as a result of many concerns raised by US consumers. We have used this ingredient in the past, in very small amounts, as a flavor enhancing ingredient. As you may know, this is a commonly used human food ingredient in Asian markets and other parts of the world also. We have done extensive testing before including it (as is the case with any ingredient we use) and found no negative impact on the fish in the short term or long term."

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want the bloodworms for my Venus Flytrap. So I am looking for worms that do not have added ingredients like added vitamins. Are these added ing?**
A: Hello Carl,Hikari says these FD Bloodworms contain micro encapsulated vitamins.

**Q: Is this good for a boesemani rainbow fish?**
A: Absolutely there are a great many freshwater fish that these are good for.

**Q: Can this specific brand of bloodworms be the only thing a betta eats? i recently got a new betta and he will spit out the tetra pellets but eats this.**
A: Bettas will frequently spit their food out as it helps them break it apart easier, so it doesn't necessarily mean they don't like their food. 

I believe on the package it says "treat or diet" so I suppose you could but it's really a good idea to offer variety as well as a good staple flake or pellet.

**Q: Will this foster wen (hood) growth on my ranchu goldfish or do I need "regular" frozen gloodworms?**
A: 🤔 I wanna say no but, my conscience won’t let me..there are just too many variables to consider w someone else’s personal care & keeping of their fish..”Mark’s Aquatics”, an excellent fish keeper, wonderful videos..he has “true luv” for all fish & th hobby..very knowledgeable..he says he’s glad to answer any questions to help anyone in anyway he can..
Also “Keven Novak PH. D” is a long time experienced fish & pond keeper..his favorite fish is th Goldfish..check ‘em out..” wen in doubt, don’t”..always do ur research, there’s too much at stake not to..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish eat this up
*by B***Z on February 23, 2026*

Great product I always use Hikari

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best quality for money
*by V***R on July 22, 2025*

I use it for feeding mollies and platys every other day. I previously used tetrafin brand which is mostly super dry and lot of dust. This one is mildly soft and easy for fish to eat. These are full worms. It is value for money and good quality. Fishes are more healthy, colorful and strong and breed like anything.
