This is in a freshwater tank, correct?
What fish are in there now?

I got neon, cherry red shrimp, and Apple snails.
My reading are 0 ammo, 0 No2, and 10-15ppm No3

after catching some up, i throw them into a 1/2 gallon contain and dose it with table salt and copper safe. in sec the worm was all dying. at first i didnt believe how fast the worm die so i catch up 2-3 more and throw them in there and yet those thing was dead.

i try a differ way using dog de-wormer, i did some goggle and some ppl say it work and its safe, even for shrimp.

i catch some more and throw them into a cup, dose it with dog de-wormer and it seem the worm is still a live(1 n a half day now). i dose a pinch only.

de-wormer is for parasites and if i remember right Planaria are not parasites.
maybe thats one reason why the de-wormer aint working or maybe a bigger dose?

i dose 0.3gm per 10 gallon and 0.1gm every 24hrs.

with this all say, if this de-wormer thing doesnt work maybe ill go the copper safe and table salt way. this will be the last thing on my list duh to copper safe/to much salt is bad for shrimp and snails/plants.

These are planaria, mostly harmless to fish but not fun to see in your tank.

Juvenile omnivore fish like mollies, platys, etc can suck them off the glass and eat them, but not much else.

The real cause is dirty gravel. If you see a growing population of these - it's time to do a deep gravel/substrate vacuuming.

I don't think there a lot of them but I can be wrong.
I just don't like the idea of having them in my tank.

I read some site where ppl say they will eat ur shrimp or any eggs.
I have ton of berries shrimp and yet I Heavent see any baby yet.
I don't know if the worm r eating the egg or not.
