Can You Overfeed With Microworm?

[Harlequins]

I have been feeding my cory fry microworm,has the microworms so tiny and disappear in the water,is it possibly to overfeed these to fry?

How long do the worms live in the water please?

Hi Harlequins

I wouldn't count on them being alive more than a day. While you won't be likely to overfeed the cory fry, the dead microworms will accumulate and should be removed and replaced. Remember that they sink to the bottom and, like any other dead or wasted food, will breed bacteria that could be harmful to the fry.

Hi inchworm

Many thanks, i still clean the bottom every day to get leftovers out,i was worried they might build up if they lived longer.
