What is the best way of feeding live bloodworms and daphnia to my tropical freshwater fish?

I have no problems with brine shrimp as they are lower risk and generally don’t carry any disease but what is the best way to clean daphnia and bloodworms before feeding or any other details?

Flathead Gudgeons, Freshwater Shrimp & Daphnia

Flathead Gudgeons (Philypnodon grandiceps), Freshwater Shrimp (Paratya australiensis) and Daphnia. The Gudgeons show some variation in colour – some changed to lighter shades after capture. The Shrimp also show variation in colour – the greener one and the blackish one are uncommon. The Daphnia are a very good size and would make good live food for a number of aquatic animals.
