Bloodworm

I use frozen bloodworms to feed my tropical fish. Being the owner of a microscope, naturally I subject all my fish food to extreme scrutiny for quality. Unlike daphnia and copepods that are normally shredded when frozen, the quality of the frozen bloodworms really took me by surprise. All photos from two samples after thawing them out.

Very nice images. The thirdth one which presents a very aesthetic image and artistic approach is my favourite.
