Hi, yes earth worms, you can give them to your fish mine go crazy for them ,i give as a treat once a week .i wash them and cut up fine but make sure you get them from a place that you know has no chance of contamination from any thing .I dont know if they will hurt a certain type of fish .Ive got clown loaches ,rainbows,black widow tetras,black fantom tetras and a sailfin plec and they all eat them hope this helps cheers boff.

Re: just wondering?

Earthworms serve as a very nutritional treat - make sure you clean them properly before giving them to your fish - and also if youve taken them out your garden make sure theres no pesticides, try Quatantine your earthworms for a week if you can to empty their stomaches - theres another post out there with quite a lenghtly discussion about them, thats where I read this.
