I mistakenly bought frozen daphnia instead of frozen bloodworms! (they look the same)

But, being me, I lost the receipt and can't return them. I paid good money for these and wonder if I can feed these to my shrimp and/or puffer fish and gobies. Any help would be great!

:OT: Err... When I thaw my frozen food for the puffers, can I rinse the food with tap water as some people suggest? Or must I use brackish water? Using non-chlorinated BW would be a HUGE hassle!
 
Frozen blood worms and frozen daphnia look nowhere near the same...

I hope you have alot of fry to feed those too =)

Just use a fine mesh netting or an old panty hose to rinse the food out. I prefer not to use tank water anymore. Rinsing the food gets rid of all the particles you don't want and the digusting water that it's frozen in.
I just recently starting really rinsing my food since I began breeding my angels and several pairs of dwarf cichlids and i wonder why it took so long for me to start doing it =)

Do you rinse in tap or not?

And about the daphnia...they're only good for fish fry?

Sorry, I guess I didn't mention that tap is ok. Daphnia is really small, only good for fish fry at that size. Otherwise it just makes one hell of a mess in your tank.
 
I feed daphnia to all my fish from my oscars to the smaller fish like the mollies. They all love it and eat it up fast. I never have a mess left over.
 
Can I use them for my Ghost Shrimps?
