It can happen in exceptional cases that live Tubifex settle in the aquarium and then occur there, for example, as a permanent live food source for armored catfish. The stream tube worm belongs to the fewborsters and eats organic remains. They live in living tubes and only extend their rear end outside to take in oxygen. These worms live year-round in freshwater where they grow between 5-8 inches long. Tubifex contain hemoglobin, which gives them their red color.
However, worms usually contain a relatively high amount of fat, so they should not be on the aquarium inhabitants' menu on a daily basis. Even many snails do not say no to a juicy worm. Worms are a very good restorative food for fish and invertebrates such as shrimps, large-armed shrimps, crabs and shrimps.
