Been spending a few hours watching YouTube videos of how to make a home bristle worm catcher and wondering if anybody has had any luck with these and what did you do

Small plastic soda bottle. Cut three holes on opposite sides. stick straws in the holes so it looks like an insect when laid flat. put some meaty food in it and put the cap on. place in your tank so the straws touch the sand. worms go in but can't come out.

Not sure what you saw on YouTube but that trap works for me.

That is very awesome I think I'll try that there's about seven or eight different traps that i found on YouTube. I'm scared of the buggers and with 150 lbs coming I'm super scared

Lol. yeah a lot of people think they're gross. I find that if I keep my nutrients super low, I don't have many.

Okay I'm laughing too hard because I had somebody come up behind me and asked me if those were really worms on my monitor, I said yes and they're going to be my friend

And the sad part is I have made a spreadsheet of all the conversations that I've had today regarding saltwater fish tanks and I have never talked so much in my life
