flatworms

They are the Acoel flatworm, I wouldnt mind having a six line but I hear they are either hard to keep or dont have much of a life span. I have another type of worm it is short and white with a larger head than the body, (round not longer lol) Well ant way I guess flatworm exit it is. Nudi's are out of the question altogether. Are they harmful to fish? If not what are they harmful to?

 

Now that i've said that i can not find the article i read that told me this. However upon a google shopping search there is only one person in the entire country that sells it and he's an ebay seller

flatworm exit - Google Product Search

I wish i could find the article..........:-/

 

I dont buy foreign.
Are they harmful to fish? If not what are they harmful to?

 

Thought it was oulawed in your country?

 

I have herd big problems with the Flatworm exit product, i guess it does a great job killing the flat worms but if you have alot of them die all at once this could spike your tank and cause some damage. i wouldnt recommen that stuff. getting a fish to eat them is a lil more natural.

 

That is why it is recommended that you manually remove as many of the worms as possible before you treat your tank. As long as you have carbon and pre-mixed salt water ready (to do water changes after treatment), you should be just fine using this product.

 

All the crap you here is mostly posted by people looking to solve the problem with a wrasse and or crab. And the worms just keep on multiplying in numbers until their numbers are so large they will wipe out a tank from the toxins released when dead. If more would simply treat then when they first see them and not **** around with hoping a wrasse will eat them then it would not be such a problem.. My own son in law played the very same game.. afraid to use the flat worm exit and tried every predator he read about . and by time he gave in the entire tank was red and all the corals where dead..

I see one I know I have hundreds and I treat.. If their is a posion I can use to kill a pest I use it asap.. I with one was around for the monti eating nudies .

 

if tangster says use it i would use it.

 

So if I use this stuff and then do say a 20% change then another in a couple weeks I should be good to go?

 

Should be. It's been a long while since I've had to use the stuff so since I'm not sure how they recommend you do a second treatment, I would just follow the directions on the box.
