i have both frozen bloodworms and frozen brineshrimp on hand currently, and was wondering what the different benefits for the goldies each has. how are they different? i know alot of members here recommend bloodworms for wen growth and stuff, but what about brineshrimp? are they any good at all?

Here are the analysis for each

HIKARI FROZEN BRINE SHRIMP

crude protein - 6.8 % max

crude fat - 1.5 % min

crude fiber - 1.2 % max

moisture - 86 % max



HIKARI FROZEN BLOODWORMS

crude protein - 6.0 % min

crude fat - 0.5 % min

crude fiber - 0.9 % max

moisture - 89.0 % max

thanks

People feed brine shrimp, espicially the baby brine shrimp to fry and adolescent fish. Both foods are a great source of protein. I think the biggest difference is your fish's preference, and the bloodworms may have more of a color enhancing effect than the shrimp do. Also smaller fish may find it easier to get the worms into their mouths than full grown brine shrimp.

okie dookie, thanks fish_king, and Liz!

my fish love both of them really, but it seems that brine shrimp have more fat, 1.5 % compared to 0.5 %. Is too much fat bad for the goldies?

Newly hatched brine shrimp is the best food to feed fry. There's nothing better.

As brine shrimp age and become adults they lose a lot of the nutritional value that they had had when they were newly hatched.

As far as which is better adult brine shrimp or bloodworms. Not a big enough differents to matter. Their both good and both are better than the processed fish flakes and pellets.
