Planaria

[Ben Belton]

Ugh... damn amighty..... I found one or two in my tank a few months ago. I didn't think much of it. I thought it was cool to have varmints in there. Then recently I knew they had proliferated, but I didn't know until tonight how much. I dropped some food in for the shrimp and honestly in the 2-3 minutes it took me to put food in the other tank and then put it back on the shelf, the pellets were writhing in zillions of them. I read on Planted Tank that they could be killing my shrimp... oh so that's where those $$$ Crystal Reds went. They also recommended using THIS stuff.

I sometimes take what I read on Planted Tank with a grain of salt. Could they be killing my shrimp? Has anyone used this? I'm ordering it tonight!

Here's a crappy phone pic.

Fish will eat them.

I only have Otocinclus.

I ordered fish from Anubias Design but he hasn't shipped yet. I paid for them Feb 28th. I'm getting a little frustrated. Not sure mini Rainbows will eat them anyway. They are bigger than their mouths.

Small fish won't eat them.
Apistos, Rams, Kribs will eat them eagerly ... but probably after they cleaned out all shrimp .

I wish I could find some blue rams. I'd like those. They can have the cherry shrimp. I'm sick of those. The Crystal reds seem to be gone.

I've read that Clout will kill them. However if you have snails, Clout will kill the snails too.
