If you used Planaria Zero to get rid of planaria.... Are you sure you don't have rhabdocoela flatworms?!?!?!?!?


It sounds like you might be treating your tank unnecessarily if you may have rhabdos' instead... since they may not be effected by treatments for planaria. In which case, I would recommend to stop treatment.

Thank you for the advice! I have yet to see any of the large planaria that existed in the tank before treating Planaria Zero, however, there seems to be juveniles still swimming around! I find it more difficult to differentiate rhabdocoela flatworms and planaria when they are that small. The reason I suspect planaria is that I noticed 2 of my shrimp dead with the worms inside them (granted this was a new shipment of shrimp, so the cause of death may have not been the worms themselves). Would rhabdocoela flatworms enter and eat a dead shrimp? My shrimp population was destroyed due to the planaria, so seeing worms inside dead shrimp is giving me flashbacks!
