ohh oki... so can i leave it or not? coz' i still have a lot in the pot of my tank! and i think they're not eatin it!

How do I store some left over bloodworms?
 
Which leftover? The ones in the tank or the package? Dispose the leftovers from your tank. You can't leave them there for long or they'll rot.
 
As a general rule, you will want to remove anything that is intended as food, once you determine it will not be eaten. I on the other hand have an ecosystem in my substrate. I threw in bloodworm's a year ago and still find them (alive) from time to time! lol I don't think a few hurt anything, but a whole mess of them will probably not be a good idea. And you can put them in the fridge. That is how they are stored at the store. They keep for a couple weeks.
