Did your piranhas like the worms? How about nutritional value? Did you feel it was good food for them?
They loved the worms. However, worms can be a hassle depending on the substrate; I had gravel, and if you lost track of a worm during the feeding, it could borough down into the gravel where would die and rot. I tend to believe worms are very nutritious. I'm sure fish eat them constantly in the wild.
If worms are readily available for you, then I say absolutely feed them to your piranhas, just make sure to keep and eye out in case they try and bury themselves into the substrate.

Some years back I posted about my redworm farm, which is more cost-effective than buying them in a bait shop.
My juvenile piranhas enjoyed them, but soon grew out of it.
The worn farm is still running....

Thanks for finding the link.
Unchanged setup, I still have the original substrate in it. Had to restock twice. This is where I throw all the clippings from my planted tanks, plus some old bread.
