Hi, I fed my fish blood worms every three days and flake food in between. After two weeks of feeding the worms I noticed my 5 inch rainbow shark belly up, he was my favorite because of how bright red his fins were compared to his black body. The next day I found one of my yellow lab cichlids dead . I did a major water change and everything went back to normal. I don't know if the shark and cichlid fought over the log that the shark had claimed, or if they both died from the worms. My dad thought that they were sick from the worms, they fought and the cichlid won, but the shark had done damage to the cichlid that, along with it being sick, killed it. What I am asking is can I feed my fish (6 rosy barbs, 1 electric yellow cichlid, and 1 plecostomus) the blood worms with out them dying? Thank you all for your time.
