just check with your house mates first
not everyone likes having worms around, and they do smell a bit of mossy forest (that's a fairly generous interpretation of the smell)

you make a good point, black, orangeoscar. When Penn sees this, it would be good to hear what he says. If he doesn't, it may be worth writing to him. I wonder if there is truth to this, that live foods make them grow. Experiments, and experience, have showed time and again that in aquariums, with our current quality foods, clean water is much more of a limiting factor to growth than diet.

THOSE WHO REFUSE KNOWLEDGE ARE DOOMED TO FAIL.
WATER CHANGES ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THIS HOBBY. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE SO OR SIMPLY DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING THEM, RE-HOME YOUR FISH, SELL YOUR AQUARIUM & FIND ANOTHER HOBBY, AS YOU WILL FAIL UTTERLY, COMPLETELY, & MISERABLY.

I regularly change 70% every 5 days, more so if anything goes wrong. Three days ago my oscar bashed herself silly on her lid, those wounds are all but healed today (except the cut above her eye, but that's really deep) with daily 70% changes. All my fish grow really well.
Discuss keepers do 90% or more every day, sometimes two or three times a day.
Step up your water changes, see what the effect is

Speaking of Butch, how's he doing since his extra-tank excursion?
