Which Food?

Can anyone confirm with me that

Peas, cucumber, cabbage, blood worms, brine shrimp are all OK for all the fish listed in my sig?

Yes, that should be fine. You might want to include a good quality tropical flake as a staple.

only reason i asked was because a marine owner told me not to feed bloodworms to my angelfish or they will die. Thought i would double check

They should be fed as a treat, once or twice a week. Bloodworms have a chitinous head that can become lodged in a fish's intestines, particularly fish that normally eat plants since their intestines are curved instead of straight.

Honestly, you don't need to feed bloodworms, feed chopped earthworm instead. It's highly nutritious, and as an added benefit of being fresh, all of the nutrients that are normally lost in the commercialization process, are preserved.

Agree with Robby's comments and also we should note that brine shrimp are also something that should be considered a fairly occasional treat, not a day to day staple. I also tend to think of the vegatables as occasional but it varies a lot by species.
