AQUAEL glass worm-catching tool transparent 3 x 4 x 4 cm 12 g

AQUAEL glass worm-catching tool transparent 3 x 4 x 4 cm 12 g is a compact glass instrument designed to help hobbyists and professional aquarists capture and transfer small aquatic worms and similar invertebrates. The transparent, rigid surface provides precise visibility and control during removal or relocation tasks in aquariums, breeding setups, or laboratory environments. Its small size and low weight allow delicate handling without introducing reactive materials into the aquatic environment.

Advantages

The glass construction is chemically inert and does not leach substances into water, ensuring safe contact with sensitive aquarium inhabitants. Transparency improves visibility so users can see the specimen during capture and reduce stress to the animal. The compact dimensions and low weight make the tool easy to maneuver in narrow spaces and suitable for careful, targeted removals. The rigid form provides a stable surface for controlled transfers.

Suitable for

• Removing small aquatic worms from aquariums and breeding tanks
• Transferring small invertebrates between containers
• Targeted cleaning around substrate and decorations
• Laboratory observation and handling of tiny aquatic organisms

Key specifications

• Material: transparent glass (rigid, non-reactive)
• Dimensions: approximately 3 x 4 x 4 cm
• Weight: approximately 12 g
• Design: compact, handheld for precise manipulation
• Surface: smooth glass for gentle contact with delicate specimens

How to use

Rinse the glass tool with aquarium water before first use to remove any manufacturing residues. Gently approach the target organism and use the edge or flat surface to coax the worm onto the tool, avoiding rapid movements that can harm delicate animals. Once captured, lift slowly and transfer the specimen to the destination container, keeping movements steady to minimize stress. After use, rinse the tool in clean aquarium water and, if necessary, disinfect according to your aquarium maintenance practices before returning it to storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only for targeted handling of small organisms; avoid using it as a general scraping implement on hard surfaces to prevent chipping. Store in a padded container to protect the glass. When working with multiple tanks or specimens, rinse and, if appropriate, disinfect between uses to reduce cross-contamination.
