I got some frozen food in especially for my glass fish but the tetras seem to enjoy it as well, blood worms seem the favorite. When I first used it I put a measured amount in at the same time and watched in amazement at the fishes reaction...they went absolutely nuts for it but a fair amount ended up ignored on the bottom so I had to siphon it out. Then I had the brain wave off putting a pinchful in at a time and they were scoffing it almost as soon as I let it go, so I went one step further and used my long handled tweezers with just a couple of worms on it and the glass fish were actually eating from there when I offered it to them. I reckon it wont be long before they'll eat from my hand! I'm sooooo happy it really is fun to do.

BTW my neice 11ys and nephew 10 yrs came over this week to have a look at my pond and tank, my neice was amazed at all the work involved; testing water chemicals, cleaning filters and gravel ect and she says she now knows why her goldfish died but the funniest comment was "Aunti Fi!! Looking after a dog is easier!!!"

I reckon dogs are definitely easier  ;D

I dangle bloodworm into my betta's tank from the end of a pipette. He pulls them out of the tube gobbles it down then comes looking for more  ;D

I chop some of them up a bit so the smaller tetras can eat them easily but the bigger tetras eat them like spaghetti, it's hilarious.  :)

The indian glass fish just swallow them in one gulp regardless of the size!
