Had a quick google but cant seem to find anything.

I feed my betta bloodworm but i have just added 5 neon tetras and a little oto. My question is can i keep feeding my betta bloodworms and give the others flakes or will the betta try and eat everything as i pur it in?

All the fish will go for all the food. I don’t like flake and will never use it. In a mixed tank i’d go for a mixture of foods. One day bloodworm, the next something like Hikari micropellets.
And i’d not have a lone Otto. They do better in groups. It will need algae wafers and fresh veg itself.

Don't use flake with labyrinth fish, they don't seem to digest it very well. Use pellets/mini granules.
Oh, and crushed pea once a week (they'll all do better with their digestion with that).
As @VikingMummy2015 has said, the oto(s) will need fresh veg and algae.
