I have used them when available, either by purchase or as a side effect of 
collecting daphnia. Many smaller killies don't seem to like to eat them. Most 
larger killies, like Blue Gularis and Aplocheilus lineatus, etc., seem to 
like them and eat them with enthusiasm. On the other hand, a renowned 
killifish breeder, Bob Felmey (for whom the KEY award is dedicated), had his 
tanks loaded with glass worms to the extent it was hard to see the fish for 
the glass worms. German killifish keepers refer to them as Weisse 
Mückenlarven (white mosquito larvae). I can buy them from the local fish 
store in winter. I used to get them mixed with daphnia from a daphnia 
collector.
