I would have moved faster on all this but I just realized my sump will in no way fit into the stand for my hex 
black worms and plant/fish/invert compatibility.

i've heard that blackworms are capable of killing shrimp, but i have no clue if that is actually true. i've seen shrimp eat single blackworms in the past, so who knows. most likely a rumor.
Blackworms killing shrimp? Only if they form a giant ball and smother one to death.
Rumors are horrible things!

I have 2 tanks up one with sand one with pea gravel, filters cooking away, ordering lighting, plants and ferts today.
I thought that blackworms would eventually turn into flying bugs of some sort and escape into my apartment. Is this not​ the case?
I get a kick out of my black worms, if they are hungry they all stick about 1/8-1/2 an inch of themselves up into the water colum, then a fish swims buy or whatever and they retract super fast like anemones or something. Looks like half my tank has short fleshy grass.
Well just upgraded my planted tank from a 20 gallon long to a 40 gallon breeder. In doing so I couldn't find any worms left in the substrate. I suspect my rainbows went around eating them when they'd stick their heads out to gather food from the water column. I'll wait for this tank to become more established before introducing black worms again and update this thread as to the progress.
