i fed some live black worms (tubeflex worms) so time ago for my plecs to eat, yesterday i notice that some were living in the gravel sticking their heads up to feed (i think), my question is that will they affect my fish or don't worry about it
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Your fish will eventually eat them. I had an earthworm in my wifes tank that was stilll alive. I had fed it to a newt, and he never ate it. It was in the gravel, and one day I was planting a new plant and SUPRISE there is something alive in the gravel. that was almost 2 weeks after the last worm had gone into the tank.
 
Yah, the fish will probably eat it after some time. Don't worry. I feed with live blackworms myself, and sometimes the worms stay in the tank until the fish get hungry.
 
I had a black ghost knifefish that I used to feed those to. About a month ago he died and whenever I siphon the gravel they end up getting sucked out of the gravel and my JD eats them.
 
they will probably eat them up sooner or later but wat are blackworms? lol im new soz

A species of segmented worm commonly used as fish food, ofted for the purpose of conditioning the fish for breeding. Otherwise known as Lumbriculus variegatus.
