bee shrimp eating mosquito larvae

From my previous tank with a lot of guppies I still had some frozen mosquito larvae in the freezer. Decided to give the tank a treat. My tetras don't care all that much for "real" food that doesn't wiggle but my siamese algae eaters are stuffing themselves silly.

To my surprise the beeshrimp are also attraced by it. I've witnessed one of the biggest eat a whole one in less than a minute. When I could grab my camera it had just started on a second one:

My tetras love bloodworm. So do my platys

About the only thing I have found that won't gobble up bloodworms is oto cats! Just be cautious when feeding mixed community fish that you don't have any that have to be on low protein (those that should mainly eat plant material) because it can cause some digestion issues with them.

what kimmers said. Mollies and salt water yellow tangs are a good example. Neither of mine can take too much meat. In the wild, they eat mainly vegetables, but they eat meat too, but not too much.
