    Found several of them in my substrate.... Easily siphon them out when I am feeding bloodworm to my shrimp.... They crawl out and snatching bloodworm with my shrimp.... Size almost same as my shrimplet.........

    Yeah. Planaria. There are a lot of species of planaria. Try not to snap them in half when catching up they'll turn into two.
    Recent studies shows that putting recent studies in your statement have a higher percentage of trust people put into your recent studies. What?

    Reduce feeding + group of small (and hungry) fishes will help to naturally keep the planaria population under control.

    Yes, it is planaria.
    Easy solution is 'No planaria' by genchem.

    Not going to introduce any chemical.. Scare my shrimp cannot take it.. going to move the shrimp to my old tank and send the existing tank substrate, gravel, to boil..

    Hi Irvine, 'No planaria' is for shrimp tank.
    But if it is not serious, no need for it.
