Bloodworms are midge larvae a subgroup of gnats.
Cyclopeeze is genetically engineered and raised in an artic lake. That's definitely not "conventional" food for our fish and corals but I think few would contest the value of Cyclopeeze to the hobby. Bloodworms are quite high in fat, and help color up fish. I don't feed it to them all the time, but do feed my fresh and salty fish the worms and I notice it does help color. I have also fed my freshwater baby angelfish mosquito larvae and they love it.

I feed them about once a week, maybe twice(depends how many other food I've got going for them!
 )I find it does seem to help color, and the fish do seem to enjoy it. I dont feed very much though as i've always heard the myth they arent very good for SW. Chris
