Hi guys,

I just introduced glass worms to my juve axie, the first time he has life food. When I first introduced them he didn't notice, a few min later he tried to catch them but since he never hunted before he accidentally big my plants of grasped air instead.

After that he started swimming like crazy, bumping into everything and still grasping air. How he's calm again, laying on top of the thermostat. Should I be worried?

Before introducing the glassworms/white mosquito larvae he was just sitting around, moving more like the lazy axie, sometimes hugging plants. (Got him for 2 days now, 1 day in his final tank, eating of pellets)

P.S. When should I take the worms out? As far as that's possible?
 
I found that uneaten glassworms tended to die and go mouldy within 24 hours once I put them in the tank, for some reason, despite living for days just fine in their own jar.
But also my axies didn't really notice them as they tended to float up at the surface, so I only tried them as food a couple of times and then gave up.
 
I'm glad that he stopped swimming crazy style after about 5-10 minutes and has been himself ever since. I think that they are indeed too invisible for him to notice, but since it's evening I'll remove him tomorrow around 1pm ish. (About 17 hours from now)

I'll be buying bloodworms Tuesday as that is when the store gets fresh living food, as those glassworms were the left that they had. What would be the best way to remove them?
