Interesting thread...
I've found blackworms MONTHS after feeding them...I seriously doubt a worm
lives that long, so my guess is they somehow reproduce erh sumthin
... like you, I see no harm in them being there however

I use blackworms to begin cycling new tanks and deliberately establish them
in most of my tanks. I typically use less than 1/4 inch of fine sand in my
tanks and primarily raise Discus, Apistogramma spp, small L-### Plecos,
fancy shrimp and Dwarf Cory spp, C. hastatus and C. habrosus.



The blackworms provide a continuously available source of food and help
consume uneaten fish food. I think they add to the ecological complexity of
an aquarium that is more beneficial than not.
