Bloodworms vs Mosquito Larvae?

[Nuts4fish]

I purchased Frozen Bloodworms last night and fed it to my Angels which are in a grow out tank at present. They went nuts for them. The clerk at the LFS indicated frozen are more readily accepted. I will be also feeding them as a treat to my other tanks as well. I still use flakes as the main food and plan to alternate frozen brine shrimp and the bloodworms as a treat.

Is there anything else, nutrition wise, I should be feeding??

Thanks for your responses.

Flakes, Pellets, other frozen foods, freeze dried foods, and live foods. The larger the variety the better for the fish.

I agree w/NatakuTseng. The live worm sold as "bloodworms" in many LFS is an aquatic worm which may be cultured, a relative of the "California blackworms" and neither of those are tubifex. But historically and more correctly, bloodworms are midge fly larve, normally available only as frozen. The red form of the aquatic worm really needs a common name of its own.
