I still feed them fresh cooked shrimps and pellets and flakes and more.but even the Roseline barbs go on full speed after the Hikari worms.like watching fish eat plankton because the worms are in pieces. Rainbows that eat anything are not that hot for them. Yet, That Angel getting his first taste.liked them. I get the feeling that a percentage of pre processed dead worms are in there-lol. So,I cant vouch that Hikari only uses live worms. I also can tell you.they smell like Tubifex worms when wet. But,it's freeze dried and when I put 3 cubes in a small bowl of water.they quickly swell up. I tell you $6 for not even a single ounce of fish food sounds like caviar pricing. So wondering if he might get malnutrition,I dropped $6 bucks on the Hikari. No wonder the female has outgrown him.she eats everything.but beefheart. He lived on one or two feeding of that a day. Well,that was then and now is now and I had one Angel I noticed.the Male.who would not eat cooked shrimp,beefheart,pellets of any kind. They needed a shallow pan of water or bowl.no lids,because they need to breathe.

For years I fed live worms,and one of the best fish foods on Earth,it could be hard to keep alive in the fridge.sometimes they could crawl out of a container.
