Daphnia ephippia can be frozen yes. They survive longer if frozen and
thawed a couple times over a few weeks/months.
As for blackworms/tubifex, if you have access to a good library try
getting hold of Charles Otto Master's Encyclopedia of live foods. It's out
of print so don't look in bookstores. If you can't get it from a library,
LFS cultures are selling photocopies for 20$ I think (that sounds illegal
to me but...). Their www address is:

There are good resources on the net though for recipes. Try
www.thekrib.com.
