Giving Worms As Food?

[dipudivakar]

as i said in intro i hav some 4 pairs of guppy 2-3 pair black & white mollys and almost 15 carps. my problem is regarding feeding them. carps eat everything in seconds and others are not able to get atleas a small quantity. right now i am giving ball shaped red colour food which my friend gifted me. i dont know the name.
i think these carps are always very hungry and eating my plants too. since my friend told that too much food might kill fish i used to gave only one ball per fish. he adviced me not to give food more than once in a day. but carps are eating everything.
now i am planning to give worms to carps. so that i think other fishes will also get some. i read here that giving worms is good. and my friend told that he used to give live earth worms to his carps.
is that good for fishes? shall i give earthworms for my fishes.whether carps will eat flakes also?
can anyone please help me.
also please tell me what to give guppy fry (8 days old)

earthworms are fine. Just be sure that they're free of pesticides. You should cut them up to a bite sized pieces.

For guppy fry, they'll eat any small food. Crushed up flake food is good and easy to get a hold of.

Put in no more than they will eat in 5min in my opinion. Also, make sure you rinse anything before putting it into the tank.
