Live Tubifex are a highly nutritious aquatic livefood widely used for axolotls, turtles, aquatic frogs, and larger fish. Supplied in a 100ml portion, these worms are dispatched directly from the breeder and pre-fed before packing to maximise their nutritional content on arrival.
Suitable For
Live Tubifex are an established dietary staple for a range of aquatic species. They are particularly well suited to the following:
- Axolotls
- Turtles and aquatic turtles
- Aquatic frogs
- Larger fish
Packaging and Transit
Each 100ml portion arrives sealed in a plastic bag with water to keep the worms viable during delivery. In warmer months the outer box may carry additional ventilation perforations; in colder months a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe temperature throughout transit.
Feeding Guide
Rinse Tubifex through a fine sieve before feeding to remove transport water. Remove any uneaten worms from the enclosure daily to prevent decay and maintain water quality. Unopened packets can be held in the fridge for 5–7 days; once opened, feed immediately.
Storage and Care
Keep Live Tubifex refrigerated and away from direct sunlight or draughts. Correct storage between delivery and feeding preserves both the worms' condition and their nutritional value for your animals.
