Should I skip one day a week when feeding my 3 DP's bloodworms?

Some people do. I feed mine anywhere from daily to every three days. They seem to do well that way.

Same here. It sometimes happens my LFS doesn't have bloodworms when I go there and they go without for four days or more.

I think it mimics their natural feeding habits. They eat a lot when they get the chance, and they probably don't find food every day. For other fish, feeding several times a day or leaving food in the tank is more natural, like for algae eaters.
