how do you feed fish frozen blood worms? do you just drop the frozen block in there? or do you let is defrost in a cup of water or something?

What I do is thaw the block out in a little cup and then I use a turkey baster to suck them up and drop them into my tank. I don't have enough fish to eat the whole thing so I just usually freeze the rest that they didn't eat.

Same exact thing here, except i use an oral srynge instead of turkey baster. i cut the block into thrids cuz i only feed it to two fish... you on the other hand might need the whole block.

Be careful not to feed this everyday. I feed with these two days a week.

I use a razor blade to scrape off what I want to feed from the frozen block and let it thaw in a small cup of tank water. Once thawed, I strain the contents through a brine-shrimp net (finer mesh than a regular fish net) and just swish the worms into the tank, minus the liquid they were frozen in.

i thaw out my bloodwoorms in a shot glass of warm water and dump in the corner so my ghostknife can get some before my discus and angels eat all lol. U don't want to throw cubes in frozen can give the fish mouth rot.

I use a shot glass of tank water too. Works great. and then use a small measuring spoon to add to tanks. Good to read all the ways of doing it. I don't use the whole block either and will try cutting it first.
