Dried Daphnia - Good As A Treat?

[FishBlast]

Can't find frozen or live bloodworms yet (live might be in on Saturday or Sunday which would make my hoplo jump with joy, frozen will be available on the 28th June).
So I got a pack of dried daphnia. I used to feed these to my guppy and swordie fry and they grew faster. Would they be good as a second food for the fishes besides the Tetramin Flakes? I often alternate their food options (ex: one or two days bloodworms, two days flakes) although I cannot find some algae wafers, I bet my hoplo would like them since he loves salad and pretty much any vegetable except peas.

I tried feeding daphnes to my little tetras and some were too big for their tiny mouths, but your larger fish should be OK. Someone told me they don't have much nutritional value though. Also I found lots floated and I ended up having to manually remove them when the fish lost interest.

I crush them finely for my fry. They loved it.
When I was a kid, I used to raise fry solely on crushed daphnia, and they grew like crazy. Took me less than 3 months to get a swordtail baby bigger than my current biggest fry (which is 2.5 months old and barely 1.5 cm, while the one in the past was around 3 cm at that age).

The adults like the whole fleas as well, they'd eat almost anything that drops in the tank except certain insects and peas. Swordtails don't like salad, only the hoplo does.
