I personally wouldn't recommend them as they are awful big foods for little bitty critters. :) But if you must, nightcrawlers are okay as long as you are sure they come from clean soil, nothing with any pesticides or other nasties in them. I would avoid mealworms, waxworms, etc., as they are very high in fat and have been known to cause gastrointestinal problems in fish. I wouldn't use any of the above as a regular staple though.
