Feeding Best Practices\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of their rich protein and fat content, Tubifex worms should be fed as a supplementary treat rather than an exclusive daily staple—ideally 2 to 3 times per week alongside a balanced flake or micro-pellet diet. Feed only what your fish can consume completely within 2 to 3 minutes to prevent excess waste from decomposing in the aquarium substrate and impacting water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Live Food","offers":[{"title":"Tubifex Worms 45ml","offer_id":57050824507732,"sku":"ZS010005","price":1.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tubifex Worms 90ml","offer_id":57050824540500,"sku":"ZS010015","price":2.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tubifex Worms 180ml","offer_id":57050824573268,"sku":"ZS010025","price":4.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/5828\/7444\/files\/Tubifex_180ml.png?v=1788692364","url":"https:\/\/www.tropicalmarineaquatic.com\/products\/tubifex-worms","provider":"Tropical Marine Aquatic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
