Can’t get a good picture right now also it’s not out as much as it was earlier. Is this something to be concerned about or not. Don’t have any experience with even seeing breeding tubes lol. I’ll get a pic in the morning. I’m going to bed it’s almost 3 am here
 
No problem with the tube out. Just means he is in the mood to breed.

Is this a sufficient diet? I feed frozen blood worm cube and koi vibrance pellets lol. It’s the only thing he likes. I’ve been trying to get him on hikari pellets but he spits them out. But always goes absolutely bazonkers for blood in the mid day and koi pellets at night

You really shouldn't be feeding bloodworms anymore than once a week. It's junk food. High protein but very little nutritional value.

One thing you can try is soaking the cichlid pellets in bloodworm or garlic juice.
Bloodworm of Garlic juice? I feel like garlic juice wouldn’t be good for the water quality but would get the fish to eat it and this is going to be dumb but do you mean soak them in like a thawed out puddle of frozen bloodworms or what do you mean lol. I have no experience at all with saoking food
