I have baby festaes like yours and recently they've been spitting out bloodworms. What should I feed them instead?

I'm feeding them NLS Thera + A anti-parasitic formula 1mm sinking pellet (smallest one). It contains garlic which does a great job on getting picky fish to eat.

"Thera A is a non-medicated food that contains a mega dose of allicin compound which is found in garlic. It helps to get rid of the intestinal worms and parasites on the fish."

Ingredients:
Main Ingredients: Krill, Herring, Wheat Flour, Garlic, Algae Meal, Soybean Isolate, Fish Oil, Beta Carotene, Spirulina, along with numerous vitamin & trace mineral supplements.

Guaranteed Analysis: Protein 38% Min., Fat 7% Min., Fiber 5% Max., Ash 9% Max., Moisture 8% Max.

I fed my salvini with this and they are growing amazingly... it did wonders for their color too, at around 2.5" they're already bright yellow with red fins. I liked the food so much that I got the 3mm Cichlasoma formula as well for the bigger fish, even tho I still have 3 bags of Hikari Cichlid Gold sitting in a drawer.
 
nice tank setup !
