As well as other parasites, Planaria has been bugging aquarists for a really long time. If you found this video, you most likely have these little buggers in your aquarium. Planaria Trap is one of the methods that should solve this issue and whether it really works efficiently you'll find in the video.

I've had an infestation of planaria and pest snails in one my 40 gal planted tanks before and introduce 3 yoyo loaches. After about a month or so I've never had any planaria issue afterwards. They also completely got rid of all the pest snails too.

The only way to get rid of ALL planaria is to start your aquarium from scratch and redo it. This planaria are such a big pain in the ass I tried traps and planaria solutions but the only way I got rid of an infestation was to redo the whole setup from scratch.... Be careful when you introduce plants or accesories into your aquarium, always use a quarantine aquarium first so you can observe when you bring new plants/animals/accesories into your aquarium they don't have unwanted hitchhikers on them. Good luck guys and gals!

So when I get ready to start my tanks over here is my? I am going to remove my fish & Nerites and they will be in a temporary place \ Quarantine and the Likelihood that planaria will be able in the snail shell or worse ?? I think it is best to assume some will have the key to the Quarantine......you mentioned that you were not seeing any more Planaria for 2 weeks and " were back " so.how long should the fish and snails be under etc.??? Thank you for any help 🥨

@stoneysscapes7544 yeah, ideal if you want to be 100% sure would be to quarantine fish and snails and plants in quarantine tank for 2 weeks and remove everything from original tank, desinfect everything and start all over again 😊

This is the first time I’ve ever seen this little worm but it’s good to know how I can manage the numbers should they ever arise.

Well, let's hope you'll ever see them only in the video than 😊👌🏻

I had a small infestation of those guys in one of my shrimp tank. I treated it successfully with a worm medicine for dogs. But i agree : the best way is to redo the whole tank if possible.

Any recommendations when keeping aquatic frogs? Specifically African Clawed Foot?

I bought this and regret it so much, one of my zebra fish somehow managed to get into the lid and drowned, I can only assume that during the time it sat on the bottom of the tank my mystery snails may had moved it and dislodged the lid I was absolutely gutted, not to mention it didn't catch a single planarian I am picking them off the glass myself.

A few fish that eat planaria are nice too. Pigmy Corydoras comes to mind

I have 19. They don't eat them.

what did you do to disinfect the tank including substrate?

@undersurfacechannel Жыл бұрын

I boiled everything 😊

Watching all those planaria in the tube makes my blood pressure spike 😂. To physically remove them you would have to catch every single last one of them which is virtually impossible. Although I'd rather avoid it I always opt for a chemical solution and nuke the tank.

@undersurfacechannel Жыл бұрын

Well, I always freeze them 😂 If they are able to survive that, in that case as you advised, nuke the tank is the next best option 😂

I got rid of mine with a product called no planaria

Was it safe for snails, shrips and plants? Do you maybe have a link in case someone would like to try it?

@paulm0573 8 ай бұрын

It’s safe for shrimp but not for snails. You need to remove snails before you dose No-Planaria. Having said that, I didn’t completely remove all my snails and a few still managed to survive the dosing.
