live blood worms

Question
Hello.

I have cleaned out and fed liveblood works to my goldfish. This is a once a week treat. Some of the worms manage to dodge the jaws of death and bed themselves into the gravel. Is there anything i have to be cautious about? can they develop into actual insects? what do they feed on?

await your feedback
thanks!

Answer
hey bhavesh!
I've never see it happen but if you're really worried just scoop em up with gravel and all and drop them back in once its feeding time.
to reduce the chances of this happened you can even put you're hand in  (wash it first) and drop it close to them so they'll eat them faster and who knows maybe one day they'll eat out of your hand!
good luck with your goldies!
