I'm not good with worms, of any kinds
I'm not real big on worms either..haha!

You can get frozen worms. Frozen bloodworms are a BIG favorite, but don't feed too much of those as the fish will overeat. You must rinse them well in a net first, by holding it under a running faucet of room temp water. The fish will reject very cold food. You can also get freeze dried tubifex worms. For live food, brine shrimp are very popular and it's fun to watch the fish zoom around catching them.

I would not put swordtails in this tank. As I mentioned, the males are too aggressive for a peaceful community tank and may nip the fins of slow moving angels and bully the platies.

Angels are one of the intelligent species called cichlids. They may come to know you, come to the front of the tank when they see you, and even eat out of your hand. I just love them.
