If this planted tank has any kind of "bunch" plants, like java moss, cabomba, 
etc, there are a lot of infusoria cruising around those plants.  The 
microworms may be secondary.  Baby brine shrimp are easier to distribute in 
this scenario in such a way that the fry find them.  If you really want to 
use microworms, I suggest putting them in a small baster/dropper in water, 
and then squirting them right into the midst of them.
