Anyone Feed Live Black Worms?

I have got live black worms from 405. I usually get 1 lb per week to feed my discus and saltwater fish also, but mainly discus. I just keep them in a big plastic box (with lid) and enough water to cover them in the fridge. I have to rinse the worms with tap water at least once a day to clean all of debris and slime.
I feed my fish California Blackworms every day and they go nuts over them. I purchase mine thru a LFS Jan's tropical fish but you can also order from this website https://www.aquaticfoods.com/BlackwormAccessoriesM.html
One thing I recommend is get a worm keeper and rinse your worms daily with RO.

I picked up a small CBB that was chowing down on Mysis in the store. I've read it can really help get them trained on other foods while in QT. We shall see. I tried a CBB once before but didn't QT him or attempt to train him. He'd eat some brine but mostly pick at the rocks and would ignore all other foods. He slowly withered away. I'm hoping I can get this guy on a variety of food to better my chances. This one is also much smaller, hopefully younger. Maybe that will help as well.
Thanks Trung! That's where I was going to check today. I thought you might of told me that while I was checking out your discus.
Thanks for the link F-Dawg. I've heard they are great for reef tanks. Maybe I can find a mini fridge on CL, no way in hell my wife will let me keep a box of worms in the fridge. She trips on the vitamins, selcon and amminos enough as it is.
