You want them full, not bloated. High protein diets can do that.
Id suggest tomorrow morning feed some peas or veggie flakes or pellets and dont feed them anything for the rest of the day, No matter how much they beg. This is keep them digesting food properly, to grow faster. Its probably about time to start pellet training them anyways.

you should definitely vary their diet and include a quality pellet as the main staple of their diet. bloodworms are fine as a treat but really shouldn't be the primary diet.I agree with both the above posts. Smaller portions, get them on pellets starting with small ones. I'd cut back to 2 feedings a day for a few days and throw some peas in and fast them for about a day. This will flush them out and then from there on out feed them pellets 2-3 times a day and add frozen brine shrimp with spirulina, frozen mysis shrimp and the frozen blood worms once a week each as well as skinned frozen peas once a week. Your fish will turn out to be stunners. It's working for mine.
