Freeze Dried Blackworms (Cubes) 10g

Description

Australian Black Worms (aka Tubifex worms) are a natural food that nature provides and are readily taken by aquatic creatures. They make a great high-protein treat for fish, especially fish looking for food with a lot of protein. Our worms are sold in both loose form and in cubes.

Clean Food

Because the worms are killed and boiled before they are cleaned, they go though the same cleaning and purging process as if they were going to be fed live. They are then frozen in 2.5 kg blocks and loaded into the Cuddens freeze drier.

A vacuum pump creates an airless environment by removing all the air from a chamber, then heats it from minus 20C to 50c.

Water boiled at 0 degrees Celsius in a vacuum. As frozen worms started to thaw, all moisture turned into vapour that was then refrozen on coils inside the chamber. 

The process of freeze drying is a little more complicated then that, but the basis for how it works is this. The important thing about the freeze-drying process is that it removes all moisture from worms without altering their nutritional facts.

The whole process from growing, cleaning and processing to produce your final product begins at a facility in order to ensure you get top quality food grade products each time! 

Disease-free

Australia has very few if any diseases that are transmitted from water to fish, and the area where these black worms live is away from farming and industrial areas.

The worm's water used to come straight out of the same supply we drink our drinking water out of up until recently. 

Difference between live worms and freeze-dried worms

The only difference between the two is that live worms contain water. 

Different ways to feed cubes.

To get fish to show interest in your freeze-dried worms, put one cube inside the tank halfway down. The fish will then be more inclined to eat it. When they do, try placing another closer to the surface so your pet can grab them easier! 

 

Australian Freeze Dried Black Worms are one of the most nutritious foods for Discus, Corydoras and other fish types as well.

This has bio pigment laced through it that is designed for bringing out the red and yellow of the fish. This is a natural colour enhancer made primarily from Carrots.

They consist of 45% crude protein and is 8x more condensed then Live Black Worms

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
