I would say a week would cause no harm, and possibly longer if the fish is otherwise healthy and the tank is running well.
a good quality pellet with prawns as a treat would be a better move. pellets contain everything a fish needs with regards to vitamins and minerals and many have colour enhancing additives such as beta carotine (sp?).
a week is a good period of time to starve a fish and make them accept diff. foods..
one time it only took me like 2 days to starve my RD to the point that it would accept a diff. variety of foods.

lol seriously.. Sure freeze dried shrimp and bloodworms are great for their diet but not alone! You need to get some pellets into that fish. You probably damaged his insides by feeding him nothing but meat.
yeah i agree with camphilophus and the others.. he NEEDS a good pellet as a daily staple in his diet.. good quality cichlid pellets will do..
