Ok well I can see how you came to this conclusion, bloodworms don't exist in a marine environment and thus they are not suitable food for marine life. But the logic is flawed.. If we take this line of reasoning and extend it say to.. Our lights, salt in a bucket, electric heaters and recirculating water pumps which have no place in a traditional natural marine environment but do a rather good job of keeping our glass boxes of life alive.

My point is don't advise someone that bloodworms are not suitable marine food because they don't exist in the ocean. If you have a proper reason to eliminate what is a great source of live protein, minerals and nutrition to any animal willing to eat them I would like to hear it.
