I do Water changes every other day regardless but is there a solution to this? like bloodworms fly Everywhere..making me deter from feeding them. and i dont want to waste themm and let them sit in my fridge

When I was feeding bloodworms I'd take the cube and put it in a cup of water and once it had melted rinse it a few times to get rid of extra protiens etc. Then use a bamboo skewer like chop sticks and basicly hand feed a pinch at a time. - N

I take a small cup with a little tank water and thaw out the bloodworms. When they're fully thawed, I dump the whole cup in a small net to strain it out then feed.

Change your sub-strait to sand, That is how it works in my Dempsey tank.
Yes, They fly everwhere. But in a short while, They eat them all.

Thaw them out in a cup like stated above and dump them in a little at a time or get a couple bottom feeders like clown loaches.

feed less
feed slower
vacuum your gravel (which you need to do anyway)

Get a Worm Feeder, it's a plastic cone with small holes poked in it.

I thought thats only effective for live worms.

Clown loaches will do the trick. Mine eat everything on the substrate except what my plecos keep leaving.
