Hey guys have a 2" JD. How often should bloodworms be fed live/frozen? Also I feed hikari cichlid gold, how often should I be feeding pellets?

Cheers
 
You should feed the pellets as a staple feeding it everday 1-3 times a day and blood worms you should feed once 1-3 times a week.
 
I feed my tank once a day pellets and blood worms once a week. you're going to have a lot of different opinions and ways to feed. I also drop in chunks of earth worms once a week, frozen silver sides also once a week, twice to 3 times a month they get frozen salad/cocktail shrimp. I have several types/brands of pellets and my jack eats everything.
 
Variety is key. BichirKing is completely correct. With all my cichlids I feed 3-5 different kinds of pellets a week. Omega one and NLS being the best. I also feed freeze dried krill, brine shrimp, bloodworms, crickets, mealworms and also tilapia. I mainly feed pellets and everything else is supplemented as a treat. I only feed treats every other day for one feeding. No treats on the weekends and fast them from all food on saturdays. Make sure to not use a single type of treat more than once a week.
