Am I feeding my Asian Knife correctly?

I have had an Asian Knife (albino) for about 2yrs and he appears to be healthy. I feed it frozen bloodworms as that is the only food he will consume at this point (and I have tried tubifex worms, frozen brine shrimp and flake.) Do I need to be worried that this diet is too one-dimensional? Is this fish getting enough nutrition or should I be experiementing with other types of food or adding supplements to his present diet? Thanks for you help!

Can I add another filter to my 10 gallon?

I already have a power filter that filters up to 20 gallons on it, but I’ve noticed that even when I do water changes with gravel vacuums, there’s still a lot of stuff floating around. Sure I’ll try to net it out, but it still floats around in there. Whenever I put a new cartridge in my filter, a week later, its clogged with dead food and fish waste and my filter does filter properly because of it. I guess its because I recently switched from feeding my fish flakes and bloodworms to flakes, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and tubifex, but not in one feeding. I just feed them twice a day without feeding them the same foods consecutively. Plus at night I drop a tropical tablet and an algae wafer for my cory cats and oto cats.

Do you think that adding another power filter like the one I have will reduce the clogging of my cartridges with better filtration? If so, will it have any big affects? For instance will I have to recycle my tank because of the new filter? I’ll give someone a best answer
Well I have been kind of slacking on remove excess food, but I have 3 cory cats, 3 oto cats, 4 neon tetras, and 1 dwarf gourami.
