Freeze-Dried Blackworms: 100% Real Blackworms, Nothing Added

Our All Natural freeze-dried blackworms are exactly what the bag says: real freshwater blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus, often called California blackworms) with nothing added. They are farmed by Aquarem in bio-secure aquaculture facilities, raised in spring water on specialized feeds, then frozen and freeze-dried with no preservatives. The result is a 66% protein, shelf-stable fish food that gets the feeding response of live worms without keeping worms in the fridge.

This is the original formula in our blackworm line and the simplest place to start, from 5g trial bags up to 500g for fish rooms and breeders.

Why Fish Go After Blackworms

  • Strong feeding response: picky eaters like Discus and Betta that ignore pellets will often eat blackworms.
  • Conditioning food: a long-time favorite of breeders for bringing fish into condition.
  • High protein: 66% protein to support growth and color.
  • Freshwater and marine: suits Discus, Betta, Cichlids, Guppies, Tetras and other tropical fish.

How to Feed Freeze-Dried Blackworms

No rehydration needed. Press a cube onto the aquarium glass and let fish pick at it, or drop it on the surface for surface feeders. For mid-water and bottom feeders, soak a piece in a little tank water until it softens and sinks. Crumble it for small fish. Feed 1 to 2 cubes daily alongside a staple diet, and remove anything uneaten after a few minutes.

Freeze-Dried Blackworm FAQ

Are these real blackworms or tubifex?

Real blackworms, Lumbriculus variegatus, not tubifex worms (Tubifex tubifex) sold under another name. Read why it matters in Not All Blackworms Are Really Blackworms.

Do I need to soak freeze-dried blackworms?

No. Dry cubes stick to the glass or float for surface feeders. Soak a piece in tank water for a minute or two if you want it to sink for bottom feeders.

How much should I feed?

1 to 2 cubes daily, as part of a varied diet with a staple pellet. Blackworms are rich, so start small and feed what your fish finish in a couple of minutes.

Are blackworms better than bloodworms?

Freeze-dried blackworms are 66% protein, higher than most bloodworm products. Many keepers feed both for variety. We compare them in Freeze-Dried Blackworms vs Bloodworms vs Live.

Are freeze-dried blackworms good for axolotls?

Yes. Our Axolotl Munchie Cubes are freeze-dried blackworm cubes sized as a hand-feeding treat.

Best Discus Food... PERIOD!

I started keeping discus around 8 months ago about 12 years into this hobby. Learned pretty fast that discus can be picky eaters, and with having to feed them 3 to 4 times a day for growth... not a great combination.

I saw super cichlids on Amazon and decided to take a chance on them. It's been the best decision I made. Been feeding my discus the freeze dried color enhancement black worms for over a month now.... and boom! The fish are big, healthier, and more colorful than ever in the past 8 months. They are thriving! I whole heartedly feel it because of adding these freeze dried black worms to their diet... not a single worm is wasted.

My discus LOVE this

I fed my fish a variety of blood worms and tubliflex worms. Decided to give black worms a try because of the higher protein levels. My fish LOVE this stuff. More then even blood worms which I’ve stopped feeding them now that the black worms have become a favorite

Premium Freeze Dried Yummieness

The fish have never seen Premium Freeze Dried Blackworms before, but they devour them. Their color seems brighter and they seem more active. Included as a sample in a previous order, I was overwhelmed how much they loved them, so I ordered some. I feed as a treat every 3 days. A++ for Super Cichlids.

AMAZING Results!

I ordered my first bag in the 15 g weight off Amazon and my fish loved them! I am now running a fish room with 13 tanks with hundreds of fish growing out and at different stages of life. I just ordered the 25 g and received it with spirulina power boost this time and to all the tanks large enough to receive these cubes as part of their diet... Well I'll attach some pictures so you guys can see for yourself. The colors and energy levels of my fish are just spectacular. Highly recommend this product and I will certainl

My discus guys absolutely love these

As the seller suggests, you can just push a cube of these worms against the aquarium glass and your discus will go absolutely crazy about it. Even the most finicky eaters will come out to get some! Thank you - thank you! I and my discus guys love these!
