Optimal feeding of a. cacatuoides and other apistos

[Sallywally]

Good evening. I recently purchased some F1 apistogramma cacatuoides. I have one fully mature pair, and 2 younger females in a 29 gallon tank. They had been fed exclusively on frozen blood worms prior to my purchase of them last week. Should I maintain them on this diet exclusively? My other apistos (a. panduro's) receive New Life Spectrum small pellets daily and a variety of frozen foods including bloodworms, glass worms, daphnia and spirulina enhanced brine shrimp in rotation of a pm.
I have tried the NLS pellets with the new cacatuoides, and the male nibbled at a couple of them, but the females ignored them. All feed well on the frozen bloodworms, but I have concerns on that being their exclusive diet. Any help would be appreciated.

i like to give my fish a variety, the foods you are using are all quite good. i would rotate them off of bloodworms to the other foods and eventually feed them the same as the others. live brine shrimp make a really good spawning enhancement ime.

as for the new life specrum food, have you ever taken a pellet and put it into some water? it swells quite a bit. i don't use that food, for that reason, being afraid of bloat. or, just soak it for a bit.
