FK3 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Ok people I just discovered some flatworms tonight and I am curious if any wrasse species will do in my 5.5? I will be planning on an upgrade in a few months to my upcoming 125. Thanks so much. Link to comment
jdiver Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I'm assuming by your description that there are currently only a few flatworms in your tank. If so, then just suck them out with a pipette or siphon and you should be able to easily keep them under control if not eliminate them altogether. A 6 line wrasse is reported to eat flatworms about 50% of the time, so that's not even a guaranteed option, nevermind the tank size issue. If you do a search for "flatworms" onn this site then you will undoubtedly come up with numerous useful topics about them. Link to comment
kennerd Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 siphon 'em first, if there are only a few. I use an airline tube loosely zip-tied to a chopstick to do my nano water changes. Slow enough flow, and you are able to suck these guys out with little water , as opposed to the amount of water a baster pulls out for one or two little flatworms. Works great for cyano, etc. and small nooks/crannies in the tank. Link to comment
