Ok I fed my fish live blood worms. Some of them fell to the gravel I think they are still alive. Should I clean out the tan? The only thing in the tank now is 4 white clouds. How long do blood worms live? mind you I fed them about a 1 week & 1/2 ago.
 
Bloodworms are pretty harmless but will definatly be dead if you bought them frozen, you shouldn't feed your fish more than what they can consume in 15minutes though and for white clouds they should only be getting 3bloodworms each max per day otherwise you run a large risk of your fish getting constipated or getting water quality issues- clean up any worms that havn't been eaten after 15minutes as you will get serious water quality issues if you leave the food in there to rot and it doesn't take long for fish food to start to decompose.
Also bloodworms don't offer all the nutrition the fish need so you should alternate their food more between somthing like fish flakes too- if you have gravel in the tank its going to need regular once to twice weekly gravel cleaning sessions with all the high protein food you are feeding your fish as gravel has a tendancy to trap rotting food in it and waste.
