Blue Green Algae and Blood worms

[Itiwhetu]

Does feeding Frozen Blood worms contribute to Blue green algae blooms?

Short answer: No

Feeding too much will cause nutrients in the water to rise which could exacerbate an existing problem or it could simple help create the conditions for the BGA to get established, but no, feeding bloodworms does not cause BGA blooms.

I may become a broken record here but if anyone has trouble with BGA, just get Boyd's Chemiclean, follow the instructions, and be done with it forever. Very effective and safe for you filter and livestock.

Does feeding Frozen Blood worms contribute to Blue green algae blooms?

Do you ask this since BG algae is really a gram-negative bacteria and feel the blood worms are introducing the bacteria?
I like the Boyds products also but if you don't figure out the source you will deal with it again sooner or later.
I was a big time frozen blood worm feeder when breeding and never did it cause me any of the issues so many describe.
