I have a friend that has some of these in his tank. He said he doesn't want them to starve so suggested he give me one for my tank. I would love to have one but I'm not sure if they would eat the type of flatworm that I have. I would hate to put one in my tank only to have it starve.

My friend has the larger reddish flatworms planaria sp. and the slugs seem to suck them up nicely. But my tank has those tiny, almost microscopic, flatworms that mainly stay on the glass. So I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with these slugs eating these smaller flatworms?

I went through a few in my last tanks, they only ate the red flatworms from what I saw, and are very susceptible to powerheads and apparently even the back section of an AP12... sad cause they were/are awesome.
