Rune 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) You can try pouring "copper safe" at the drainage pipe where the earthworm keep appearing. This product can be bought from most fish shop. I had an experienced once whereby I put my shrimps in the tank added with Copper Safe. The invertebrates did not have a chance and dead therafter. Although I was sad, I only found out from aquarium shop owner that it kills these invertebrates but safe to fishes like african fishes. Thereafter I read the label behind the container its labels also states as such. Hope this helps Edited April 16, 2009 by Rune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan26 2 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I think if the problem is not solve. You need to keep a Dragon fish aka arowana, then u dun need to buy fish food liao. Feed the earthworm to the fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HanJin 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 hi andywee... how is the worm situation now? got heavy rains recently.. did they surface again? i hope u get someone to solve this situation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rolexboy 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 As I mentioned, earthworm drowns in water after 1-2 weeks. Take notice of when they crawl out, issit after heavy rain… Do check with your neighbors, left, right, centre, upside, down… They might be able to help u somehow… I doubt they crawl up from the ground…. this topic, somehow is quite interesting...

HanJin 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 hi andywee i was cleaning my new house toilet and saw tat it has a flap trap cover, so water can flow down n nothing comes up cos its one-way. good n effective. prevents cockroaches..etc from climbing up. Chan Huat ( the lighting shop at balestier- the 2-storey unit) is selling one tat is white in color , plastic material. was there yday shopping for more lights when i saw this cover-thing. same logic too n its cheap too. u should chk it out.
