Aquarium Advice Addict
From what I can find on the web they are not harmful to fish but possibly harmful to shrimp and snails? I noticed them today in one of the betta tanks, and upon further exam I notice they are also in my other betta tank and in the big tank. I have never had planaria before and am somewhat disgusted by them. I am going to fast all the tanks for 3 days, no feeding and daily massive water changes. I've read that meds can also kill snails and I am rather fond of my apple and MTS, so I wont be using meds. Also, I have sand and live plants, so I can't really gravel vac with my water changes. How deep in the sand could they survive?
Is it possible to starve out the planaria with this method and daily water changes? If I feed very sparingly only every 3 days? Are their any other treatments that are safe for both snails and plants?
Thanks,
Ashley
