How often to feed bloodworms to elephant fis

[erpethoichthys]

I have been feeding my elephant fish bloodworms daily .I bought it 3months ago and he had not grow anything. Sould I continue this feeding schedule? I am worried for the water quality of my tank. Tanks for any imput.

They are a slow growing sensitive fish. Would try every other day if ur water quality isnt kept pristine. Feeding every other day should be fine.

Also try adding a small pellet, flake, or chopped
up earthworms as blood worms aren’t the most nutritious thing out there. This with clean water may give some growth.

Absolutely agree.

You could also try culturing live mosquito larvae for them, these are an amazing food for fish. There are plenty pf tutorials online
