i read somewhere that it might not be good to feed some fishes with blackworms....is this true? Can i feed it to:

EBJD
Synodontis Petricola
Clown Loaches
 
Never heard that before... The fish you listed should be fine. I've seen both ebjd and clown loaches that get fed black worms daily at one of my lfs, they're all healthy.
 
isnt it african cichlids cant eat worms because it majorly increases their chance or bloat or something?

the 3 fish you listed will be fine with blackworms. the CL especially will go crazy for them. its like like sucking down little spaghetti's for them
 
I feed Black Worms to my fish... EBJDs included...

The other two I don't own those species...
 
The only fish I wouldn't feed blackworms to would be african cichlids, as they can't digest the excess protein - blackworms are fine to feed to your fish.
