Planaria will not help you much, haha!
You can try looking for detritus worms, long white stringy worms that always hide in the substrate. Fishes love to eat them.

Or just use tubifex worms?

Blood worms are not really worms leh bro, they're larvae of a midge, so will not produce more blood worms directly heh
