Spilled Worms! Help!

[savagedp]

Hello everyone... I'm really worried now...
for the first time i fed my fishes worms. i dunno whether its called worms or not. its really really tiny.
but the LFS lady said it is for the fishes..

the fishes i have
7 tetras

10G tank
18Watt lights
filter 500ltr/hour
Plants : water Sprite a bnch of them. not planted into the gravel. roots are floating

ok here comes my worry, i accidently released all the worms into the water... its a small cup full of worms
the fishes rushed for the worms of course.. but they couldn't finish everything... A LOT was left dangling on the gravel. and i see them digging into the gravel!!! what am I suppose to do? i netted quite a large amount out already. but some of them have managed to dig real deep and stayed in the gravel...
should i empty my entire tank, wash out the gravel and put everything back in again???
or waht should i do? or should i just let the worms rot in there?

Bloodworms, if their red they are bloodworms.

You should gravel vac out as much as possible, keep an eye on water levels incase you cant get it all out and they begin to rot, if the water params get bad you'll need to do water changes.
