Blood Worms

[RTCfan86]

Is there anything wrong with feeding my fish blood worms everyday? I have 3 Crenicichla Regani, and they are only about an inch and a half long. When they get larger, I will give them some live food as well, but it will not be their main source of food for obvious reasons.

Try getting them on a pellet or a flake food, w/ blood worms once a day. They'll get more nutrition, look better and be bigger. If they don't immediantly take to the pellet/flakes, don't feed them for a day. Then introduce the pellets/flakes again the following day. They're appetite will overcome their desire for bloodworms.

get them eating pellets on a steady regime before introducing tastier but less nutritionally balanced food.

you can feed them bloodworm everyday but only if they are into an established routine with pelleted food first. otherwise they may stop the pellets as bloodworm is tastier. feed the bloodworm as the night time feed or use it every couple of days instead as a treat if you prefer.
its much like kids and candy, they love sweets more than veggies but it aint good for them as a constant diet.
