bbales Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have a lot of copopods and brown flat worms in my jbj rimless 8gal. I know that a sixline would be too active for a tank that size, any suggestions as to another fish I could use to control the flatworm population? They don't seem to be bothering my corals, but I just dont like the look of them. I don't currently have any fish in this system, and all my values are at zero (amm,trites,trates) I feed very lightly just for hermits right now. If I were to have the sixline as the only fish do you think this is okay? Tank has been up and running for 3 months now. Thanks for your help! =) Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I remember metrokat getting some sort of damsel for flatworm control... springers damsel i think it was. but those get 3.5" Link to comment
Bingo1213 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Ya a sixline would be frowned upon in that size tank. Plus I had one that never even ate flatworms. The best fish for flatworm and pyramid snail control are yellow banana wrasses or mellenarus wrasses but both get too big for that size tank. You may need to try flatworm exit. Link to comment
