Here's my idea.  The frozen bloodworm sinks to the bottom, where the apistos 
have an advantage in trying to stuff themselves on it.  Many people report 
deaths when feeding frozen or live bloodworms.  Recent evaluations of some of 
these fish indicates that they may simply be gorging themselves.  Watch how 
much you feed them and how much the apistos are actually getting.  Just a 
hunch.
