what kind of worms? i feed my piranha earthworms and he was eating bloodworms when he was smaller.. i would advise getting them on some type of pelleted food asap.. that way you always have a steady food supply.. and pellets offer the best coloration and overall nutrition for the fish... as they get older i would use silversides or smelt along with fish fillet and market shrimp as a staple, but still use the pellets to ensure good coloration and a good balanced diet.

I would feed them something with a lot of protein that will help them grow fast like beef heart, blood worms, specific high protein flakes.
