    yeah those are definetely flatworms. I just treated a tank with flatworm exit. It took several doses to kill them all. Make sure you follow the directions very carefully and siphon off as much as possible prior to treating. Once they die they release toxins into your water so you want to get rid of as many as possible before you treat.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !

    Yup Yup, read the directions and be prepared to do a decent water change.
    Do not treat until you have manually removed as many as you possibly can.

    Sixlines are a little mean, but anything to do the job.
