I don't see how, My bettas will eat anything, including my arm (attempt to) and have attempted to eat MTS as well.

I don't know about angels, but my betta likes frozen brine shrimp.

Are you feeding both fish exclusively on flakes only? That would be your problem. Once they become too accustomed to one food, they become difficult to get used to other foods.

all the fish in my tank will eat anything...
even the discus.
How are you puting the bloodworms into the tank?
I assume you're not dropping a compressed cube in there?

Try Frozen (Not freeze dried) bloodworms..
And frozen enhanced brine shrimp... All my fish love 'em! even the tetras! (some of the tetras are smaller than the food they are trying to eat!)

Have you tried thawed, frozen bloodworms? My killis would not take freeze dried for awhile until they had had frozen a few times.

Both my angels and my bettas love freeze dried blood worms. Give them a little time they should eat it. They will go crazy for frozen. My angels eat shrimp pellets off the bottom and will even pick at algae wafers.

My fish don't really like freeze dried foods. Try soaking them before feeding. Frozen is better, blood worms & brine shrimp are favs but they don't like glass worms as much.

Once they try them once you won't be able to get them to stop. Keep introducing the food and your fish will eventually eat it.
