lenver Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You might be Mexican if you know who the cucuy is Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well, that explains it. I'm whiter than white bread, LOL. And I speak just enough spanish to get into trouble that I cannot get back out of. So, this cucuy is the Mexican version of the closet monster. Got it. That particular monster haunted me as a small child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Saw it again last night but couldn't catch it. Saw it in the Sam spot, so I was thinking of gluing it in. Could there be a toxicity issue if thus actually works and it dies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I can't say for sure, but somehow I think that might be a bad idea. First of all, I have NO idea on the toxicity, but second, I don't think you could actually seal the thing in, I'm betting that there is a "back door" to the lair.

Woods Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah, I don't think you can glue it in either. From my understanding their body form allows them to get through very small openings that you wouldn't otherwise think they could squeeze through. I was somewhat amazed at the tunnels in the rock that mine was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have my red led head light and a trap. Super tired from the wedding, but I'm going to fish for a little while before heading to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Anyone want a polyclad flatworm? You'll have to take the second still in my tank (I think it "broke" into 2. It was only half way in when I yanked the trap out. It had gone half in before when the frackin cleaner shrimps came in and scared it away. It was going in again when I saw the shrimp coming back so I panicked. I think I'm gonna call it a night (as soon as my adrenaline goes down) as I imagine it won't come back out to eat if it's hurt. I'll try to post a picture of the one I caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Here is a picture of the one I caught. Now I need to trap the second one. What am I supposed to do with it? I feel bad killing it (I assume clove oil works the same on them as it does on FW fish). I wonder if the Austin Aquarium would take it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizzy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Since mine killed 20+ snails, I was happy to kill it. You're a better person than me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+etannert Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Species tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's actually pretty cool looking, esp. when it starts moving around. I think it would have been easier for me to kill it when getting it out, rather than putting it in a container and watching it all day....I'm sending it to a better place as soon as I find the clove oil.

Sherita Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They are pretty. But no one in their right mind would want the thing in their tank, LOL. Best thing to do is dispose of it in a humane way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCAB Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just caught the second much larger worm (the one I originally saw). Unfortunately, I threw the trap across the room (a clear plastic container that OOzarka gave me when I bought some Mohawks from him) and I won't be able to use it again to see if there are any more. I think that this is it, though. Yesterday, when I caught the smaller one, I am fairly certain that it was the larger one and that when I pulled the trap out, the worm split (although that seems like to easy of a split) - the reason I say that is that at first I didnt think I had caught anything, since the big flatworm was laying on the sand, momentarily stunned. Anyway, fingers crossed that this is it. Thanks to everyone that responded for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
