Made a first time visit to a new lfs store today (not a "new" store, but new to me), and though I didn't buy any fish or anything, I did notice they sold live bloodworms by the ounce. So I got an ounce of them (which seems like a bijillion worms lol) and brought them home, dumped some in my tank. (Edit: 29 gal with 6 zebra danios, 3 cory cats, and some ghost shrimp. I probably put in a total of 30 worms, and not all at once.)
My zebra danios would go after most of them, all except the largest ones. I tried to get some worms to the gravel because I heard corys love them. Sure enough, the corys came over and would suck them up like spaghetti (so funny to watch). I even saw a couple of my larger ghost shrimp be able to wrestle a whole worm into their mouth.
However, I also noticed that some made it to the gravel, and after a few seconds would wiggle around and wiggle right down into the gravel. :?
Will they live down there, and eventually pop their heads up (and hopefully get eaten?) Or will they just go down there, die, rot, and cause water problems?

Definitely try to get a picture of that!
