I've never seen the worms or shrimp sold live either. They are small and white, and grow to just over. White worms, like daphnia, are easy to culture at home.

Live tubifex worms are good at hiding in the substrate of your tank, which offers extra entertainment for your goldfish, as they have to go hunting for their food White worms. The annelids are sold frozen, freeze-dried, or live, though this practice is becoming more rare. They are a familiar sight to many aquarium enthusiasts who frequently purchase them as a high-protein food for their favorite fish. I'd love to do some live foods, but that seems unlikely, since I'm not going to set up a tank for Brine Shrimp. Tubifex worms live in the mud of shallow ponds. As bloodworms, tubifex worms have a relatively high level of hemoglobin and a characteristic bright red color. I'm wondering what is better for the fish and yield's the best results as far as nutrition/fish growth/coloration etc etc etc and what do you think of these brands? Are there better name brands out there? How do these compare? I had always gone freeze dried in the past though, because I thought the frozen stuff would be a pain. Today I decided to buy some frozen San Francisco Bay Brine Shrimp. However, I used to supplement their diet with freeze dried Hikari Bloodworms and Brine Shrimp. I hear that it is the best to bring out a fish's most vibrant colors and it seemed good. I usually feed my fish New Life Spectrum small pellet formula, have to pick up some more, haven't used it in a while, blowing through some flake food first.
