Glass worms seem to have vanished from the trade. Like live bloodworms, they were only seasonally available at best.
I have done cultures of "vinegar eels" for a small fry food, but they are too small for fish.

Most LFS do not deal with a wide variety of live foods. The one I use does have a good selection of live foods, but not nearly as many kinds as they once handled.

Re: NEW OWNER OF DWARF PUFFS!
Dried food is not too good, I have heard that it seems to expand in fish or something.
If you're stuck then try whiteworms on ebay. They are kept in Compost and fed on oats, cucumber, blanched spinach and bread crumbs. Only put in a small amount until consumed by the worms. 15-20c
If you have to use dried food then try soaking the Krill in water for a few minutes beforehand.

I supplement all my fish's food with F-D plankton.

Re: NEW OWNER OF DWARF PUFFS!
If you get stuck then Whiteworms on ebay can help.
There is info on keeping them on the net. Easy! They are a bit fatty and my DP can demonstrate
