If composting, check out the book Worms Eat My Garbage.
if you monitor the water temp and chemistry close enough to keep your fish happy, your worms will do just fine. they don't care for high pH though. if you want to breed worms for the purpose of harvesting them, I'd suggest vermicomposting.

also a good source of your scraps
Styrofoam is not the best container. You need something to hold bedding (Shredded cardboard, coconut coir, etc) and that you can add drainage holes on the bottom (sit the bin on bricks) and holes for airflow on the sides. This is your worms screaming, "GET ME OUTTA HERE!" (These worms naturally live in leaf litter- not in soil.)
:) Been there, done that. Without pourous bedding and airflow, it is too wet and they will suffocate. I use a rubbermaid bin and use shredded cardboard egg cartons mixed with coir for bedding. If it gets too wet, I add more dry cardboard.Too dry? Just have a spray bottle nearby. For a cover, I use landscaping cloth. Keeps it dark, but provides air flow.

Good luck!
You might look into vermicomposting and/or bokashi. I keep a worm bin in my house all year round for food scrap composting. Isn't messy and doesn't smell at all. Check out the book Worms Eat My Garbage.
