Bloodworm are actually the larvae of a non-biting Chironomid Midge, and not a true Mosquito, so you don't need to worry about them hatching into little bloodsuckers...
As for your Pictus, maybe it's just fussy. It wouldn't be unknown in fish for any given individual of a species to decide it doesn't like a food that most others will wolf down.

I wouldent worry about it m8.
The larvae will take so long to hatch, they will more like become someones dinner while there at the surface hatching.

No they breed as flys, and would rather lay there eggs in still water.
