Labenator65000 said:Try to find it and get it out of there at least. Do a thorough PWC, including under and within your decor and substrate.
I'm not a big fan of proactive medication. You should try to find it and get it out of there, then just keep an eye on your fish.

christine2012 said:I just defeated planaria due to overfeeding. I did lots of cleaning, ran a razor blade on insides of the glass and stopped feeding for a few days. All clear!
I did the cleaning but never thought to halt feeding for a few days! Will 2 days be ok?
HUKIT said:You don't need to stop feeding for a couple of days to eliminate them, you just need to stop overfeeding them. Feeding is one of the biggest challenges for newer aquarists with the majority of people overfeeding their fish.
