These fish have recently come to consume 6-8 cubes of frozen bloodworm in a single night. Is this the normal amount, or are we overfeeding them? Here an videos of them feeding. Thanks.

Bloodworms are not healthy for them all the time, it might take some time but they will take that. I got mine to eat worms and shrimp, he got a lot bigger in 2 months than the year he was on bloodworms.
