    i don't really like chemicals and there is so much flatworms that i'm afraid that using flatworm exit will poison all my tank.

    I, on the other hand, am a firm believer of "better living through chemistry" :)

    If the 6-line doesn't work out and you want to use the Flatworm Exit as a last resort, just be sure that you siphon out as many visible flatworms as you can before you treat and get some carbon ready for after the treatment.

    shrimp snack

    I had a cleaner shrimp and a sabae anenome in the same tank and the cleaner shrimp used to hang around the edge of the anenome and steal food from him. One day the cleaner shrimp disappeared and the anenome grew a little bigger and had a $28.00 snack.

    My skunk cleaner was gone for at least 7 or 8 days after I put him in the tank, and I had even redid the rock work without thinking about it. :eek: But then he appeared one day. And he was bigger not my anemone! If you acclimated him properly I think he will probably appear. And mine stays out in the open almost all the time nowadays, but he's molted 3 times since I got him and he's a lot bigger now. Good luck, and I hope he shows up.
