Danny,

There have been other suggestions of worm traps, including one using pantyhose with a snail as bait. The only problem with these traps is that there are so many other snails to choose from in the 120g, the worm would probably go after one easier to get at that is not in any kind of trap.

Plus, the worms I have read about usually stay anchored in their hole and only the front part of them comes out to eat, which isn't going to get my worm caught no matter which trap I use. That is, assuming the worm would go to all the trouble of going after a hard to get snail.

The initial shock, disgust and frustration that I felt yesterday when I realized we did not find the worm during our first attempt has gone. Now that all the rock from the left side of the 120g has been in the 20g overnight, I'm feeling more confident we'll eventually find the rock the worm is in.

What does everybody say about this hobby? Patience is the key to a successful tank. I'm going to keep that statement in mind during the upcoming worm catching process. If it takes two months to find the rock with the worm in it, so be it. If it takes three or four months to find the worm rock, so be that too.
