TUBI CUBI freeze-dried Tubifex worms. Natural food in the form of cubes for omnivorous and carnivorous fish. It is obtained through freeze-drying of Tubifex worms (Tubifex tubifex). Tubifex worms are very eagerly eaten by the fish and aquatic turtles. They provide easily digestible protein. When served fresh, they may be the source of dangerous pathogens. Freeze-drying technique eliminates all the organisms, which cause numerous diseases.

At the same time it helps retain delicate vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, protein and other nutrients, making Tubifex an extremely valuable natural feeding solution. It can be applied dry or soaked beforehand.

Tubifex worms are detritivores, meaning they feed on organic detritus and decaying matter. They play an important ecological role in breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients in aquatic ecosystems.

Here are some additional details about Tubifex worms:

1. Habitat: Tubifex worms are primarily found in freshwater habitats, including streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and even drainage ditches. They prefer soft, muddy substrates where they can burrow and feed on decaying organic matter.
2. Anatomy: These worms are typically small, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters in length, depending on the species and environmental conditions. They have cylindrical bodies segmented into numerous rings. Their bodies are adapted for burrowing into the substrate, with bristle-like setae that help them move through the sediment.
3. Feeding Habits: Tubifex worms are detritivores, meaning they feed on organic detritus, such as dead plant matter, algae, and bacteria. They ingest sediment particles along with organic matter, digesting the organic material and excreting the remaining sediment as feces.
4. Reproduction: Tubifex worms are hermaphroditic, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs. They can reproduce sexually by exchanging sperm with other individuals during mating. They can also reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where a worm breaks into two or more pieces, with each fragment capable of regenerating into a new individual.
5. Ecological Importance: Tubifex worms play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. They help break down dead organic material, releasing nutrients that can be utilized by other organisms. Additionally, they serve as food for various aquatic animals, including fish, amphibians, and invertebrates.
