    Good to finally hear some thing good about the little creatures. I have one and enjoy the work he does in the tank. Thinking about getting another one because I don't think he can keep up with the size of the tank.

    me too Baugh!.....but I haven't seen him in a very, very, long time...I wonder mines butt buddy finally ate him up? I haven't seen that thing either(since the episode).....I sure do miss my worm.....You could count on him for a little excitement every now and then, like when they slither from one side of the tank to the other, or when they suction themselves to the glass............slow but enjoyment never less.....
