Bloodworms

[Larry Haley]

So string algae has decided to take residence in my pond. I decided to take a scotch brite pad and just knock the majority of it off. A couple of swipes and I noticed the fish were going crazy. Usually they hide when they see me. I took a look at the pad and it had a couple small red worms on it. I learned these are small bloodworms and the fish absolutely love them. So cool now I cant wait for the algae to grow back.

This is a hobby I fell into. Very welcomed hobby now. I look forward to checking out the fish after work. My cheap little feeder goldfish have doubled in size and now have beautiful colors. I see now why I was told this pond is to small. Soon they will grow out of it. I already have and I'm making plans for a larger more serious pond.

This seems to be a common theme with ponding. I built my first pond 4 years ago and built it larger than I originally planned. Now four years later I just finished a rebuild almost doubling the ponds volume. The funny thing I was looking at the pond the other day and was thinking I could of made the pond even larger. When I shared this thought with my wife I got that stare.....you know the one that without words tells you to get that crazy thought out of your head!!

Wanna drive your fish crazy? Give them blood worms with garlic.
