Well, thawing is good, but it depends. If you have big fish, and you thaw bloodworms too much, it will make alot of small bits, and they will have a hard time getting it. I would suggest keeping it in a reasonable chunk size.I also thaw the cubes out in a glass with a little tank water, I use a eye dropper to feed, so I don't over feed and have food left in in the tank.
Sorry for intruding on the subject, but I have a ??? I have a community tank, and one German Ram. When I feed flack and so forth, the guppies and tetras all eat the food first! My Ram is a mid tank eater. Currently I take a flex-tube square, attached to a paper clip so it will go down, and tie a bit of thread to it. I leave it dangle for about two minutes. The cubes you are talking about, do they sink or float? Is there any food, other than algae tablets that sink? Don't really have a LFS to ask.

I have a ram too, she likes to feed on the bottom as well. When I do feed flakes, I'll soak them first in a spoon of tank water so they start to sink right away when I pour them in. Mostly I feed New Life Spectrum small community pellets and I soak those first as well so they go right to the bottom; the ram feeds on them as they fall and then picks the rest off of the sand. She also likes to eat the algae or veggie or shimp pellets that I give to my other fish (my ram is a pig lol).
Your ram isn't the onIy one, mine is a huge pig too! He catches the shrimp pellets as they float down, he also keeps it in his mount until he eats it all, never spits it out, it's pretty funny to watch actually.
