Peter,
  I've had them reproduce in tanks where they didn't get eaten, too.  They should be perfectly safe to use as food for your other fish.

  While I'm not too proud of this I have seem to start a black worm culture in my pleco tank. I had some extra worms(4 to 6 worms) about 6 weeks ago and thought I'd give the plecos a try. Well they didn't touch them and it's a tough tank for me to access so the worms stayed in there. I noticed that they were still moving abound after several days, then it seemed like there were more of them now the tank is loaded with them. Has any one had a similar experience or breed them. Could I be mistaken and have some parasites, they're about 1 1/4" to 2" long and sure seem like black worms to me but this is a first. I'm thinking of starting to feed them to some of my killies but didn't want to screw up.
Thanks in advance
Peter
