I feed every day also.
1 feed flake.
1 feed blood worms.
1 feed of discus gold. (man you'd think it was gold $ )
Then every 3 days I feed beef heart.
Sometimes I feed live brine shrimp. Some of the guys just love it!

Strangely enough I feed on Sunday only every 2 days I give them krill, and every other day I switch between algae pellets and shrimp pellets, all with flakes of course

What are we feeding?

My betta gets pellets in the am and thawed frozen blood worms in the pm. My serpea get sinking tetra pellets and sometimes freeze dried blood worms. My ADF's get thawed frozen blood worms twice a day.

I ditto Lucy's question! What type of fish are you feeding the bloodworms too? The answer would really depend on that.

Sorry, this mainly applies to our Platy's and Swords. I'm trying to beef up their diet with more nutrients, since they really seem to be the only fish that get sick.

In addition to the new frozen bloodworms, I created a concoction of algae wafers, flake food, and spinach that i'm going to try feeding them.

Thanks for the replies!

My concoction was dried...so it didn't turn to mud. It was much closer to being rock. lol The fish didn't really go for it.

dancerhas, as you are trying a concoction, I'd go with feeding them every other day or even just twice a week. That way they won't rely on just the bloodworm.

TropicalGrimmish,yes Tetras will eat them. As someone else mentioned in a different thread, they are like miniature piranhas
