Leeches in blackworms?

[kribkid17]

When you get your blackworms, do you find leeches? I found 4 or 5.

I think I've found a few.

Here's what I'm gonna try and build today, http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/diy/43343-live-blackworm-keeper.html

I like that concept. I could have doen that with my acrylic pieces. Might be just the thing to keep them easier and longer. Keep us posted if you get creative.

Unfortunately, there are always some leeches mixed in. They are not the kind that bother fish, however. I'm not sure what their diet is. They probably feed on the worms and maybe snails in the tank. Some leeches are detritus feeders. For what it's worth, I have never seen the leeches establish themselves in an aquarium and I've been feeding live blackworms for decades.
