These things are wildly popular with many fish, and are also pretty healthy as I understand it. You should be able to find them in a fish store somewhere near you, otherwise just try to order online.

They're the ones that people use for fishing. As I said above, you should be able to find a pet/fish store near you that carries earthworm flakes. They are manufactured by at least one or two of the major companies, I think Tetra or Wardley is one of them. If you cannot buy the flakes in your area, just search for and order them online.
