Not exactly harmless planarians

Saw this page on GC website and wanted to share here. Came as a shock to me as all the while I thought they are harmless to shrimps! Need to start clearing those in my tanks..

Thanks for sharing... My tank have planarians also.... But manage to get rid of them all...

Effective way to get rid of them completely is flubendazole.

However dosage had to be used correctly in order not to affect shrimps in tank. There will bound to have deaths for snail and shrimp during treatment.

Good thing is after treatment, you will never ever see these creatures in your tank.

Hmm where can one purchase flubendazole?

Its a controlled drug. Not really accessible to buy in bulk. But can suggest you to buy dog dewormer or "no planaria" to try it out.
