pretty gross....so are they safe to feed to my fish? I know anglers use leeches to fish sooo.. safer to flush them down the toilet?

I find them with my bloodworms whenever I do buy them too. IDC as my fish will eat them so what the heck.

Hehe, yup those are leeches.
I might be overly cautious here, but I wouldn't feed live leeches to your fish. Who knows, they might survive and cling onto your fish's throat or intestine.

Yes. They are leeches. I've had the privilege of pulling them of my skin a couple of times after swimming in certain lakes and rivers.

I do know certain freshwater fish love to eat them so I'd imagine they'd be fine to feed your fish.

If you decide to get rid of them, kill them before flushing.

definitely leeches, and yes they make great fish food.
