No-Planaria is safe for shrimp but may take out some of your snails, so remove those prior to using it. led to “temporary death”. Once you return them into normal water, they come to life in a couple of hours! Note #2: Sometimes they are also called Ghost shrimp. They are very similar to the real Ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus), when they are young it can be really hard to tell them apart. You can read more about it in my article “Ghost shrimp – Detailed Guide: Care, Diet and Breeding”. Crayfish So my question is since I can’t tell if it’s Planaria or not, should I be too concerned for now? Will they hurt my fry? I saw in your comments that dewormer might be too harsh for fry so I am going to skip it if for now, but I am worried my fry will be hurt.
I knew little about these snails and asked on here for advice. Troi recommended eSHa Gastropex however I haven't tried it. (I bumped the thread on it as I'm hopeless at linking threads!) Also dw1305 recommended baiting with cucumber to keep the numbers with cucumber to control their numbers. I can't understand why no planaria is considered safe just because it's a natural product, so is poisonous mushrooms , when fenbendazole is manufactured to strict control , it's used as a wormer on expensive animals and it's consistent , I treated 4 of my tanks with great success no losses including babies from newborns up , treated this time last year and it totally eradicated planaria , filter unaffected , water parameters not altered and my tanks have and still are breeding great so how it hangs about is as far as I am concerned needing proved, Fenbendazole is cheap and easy to buy in most pet stores , easy to work out doses and as long as is mixed well to try and make it soluable works great, at the time there were reports of deaths due to no planariaPlanaria is notoriously difficult to remove from your aquarium. If you miss a single flatworm, it will multiply into many. Sorry to hear you are still having this issue! You could try another aquarium but I would keep everything new and seperate so it will be a slow process. I would get new shrimps for it as well when it is ready! However, I can recommend a couple of methods that I’ve successfully used to completely eradicate the pest from my tanks. Tip #2: According to my experience, banana skin (the browner, the better) also attracts snails very well. Do not leave it for too long, do not foul your water more than it is necessary. In many cases, planarian worms get into tanks through filter media or substrate. It’s not uncommon to move things around and inadvertently spread these pests. Perhaps you’re using substrate from one tank to create a smaller breeding tank.
In my experience, they did have an effect on my Cherry Shrimp population as well as on the Ramshorn population. I've noticed a decline in numbers from both with a steadily growing Planaria infestation. At that time i saw them all over the place, on the glass, plants and hardscape during the lights-on period. And it seems to be mainly nocturnal, then seeing numbers of them during the day can only mean severe infestation. It seems that they mainly come with frozen foods, such as bloodworm ice cubes are always infested with Planaria eggs. And they survive -18°C with ease. Therefor i stopped using frozen foods and nurse my own life food. It is extremely hard to kill brown planaria with common methods. The survival rate is amazing. Unfortunately. Add two or three different types of food in small amounts inside of the bottle. For example, fish flakes work great. Do not add too much because it can cause an ammonia spike. I found this video from Mark's Shrimp Tanks Youtube channel and other posts saying a similar approach could also be used to treat hydra, so decided to give it a go following his instructions: I’m 1 week in to cycling a new 3.5 gallon aquarium for 5-10 super tiger shrimp. I’m using plantable (small pebble) inert substrate which I sprinkled with Bacter AE when I set it up. I’ve also mixed some Bacter AE with tank water and added it to the aquarium. Three tiny ramshorn snails are now in the aquarium.Cichlids (like Julidochromis, Oscar, Red Devils) prefer live food such as snails, bloodworms, and shrimp. They will eat snails and control their populations in no time. The first "day 1 dose" is enough. There is no need to do the 2nd day (50%) or 3rd day (25%) repeat doses. Maybe this is only needed for killing planaria? For more information, you can read my article “How to Quarantine and Disinfect Aquarium Plants”. 2. The MainCause of Snail Overpopulation It is hard to say should you feed your shrimp or not during the treatment? The point is that the product does not mention anything about aquarium use at all. Ok, so I know I said that this was a shrimp only tank. But my LFS got in a shipment of tiny micro-rasbora ("Exclamation Mark Rasbora apparently) which are about 3/4" long. The guy I know there (an experienced shrimp keeper) assured me they would be pretty much shrimp safe, and given the amount of hiding places in all my Christmas moss, I thought it worth a try. I'm only concerned about juvenile shrimp of course as the adults are actually bigger and meaner than the fish!
One of the most popular products is called No-planaria control in 72h. It’s a natural Betel nut palm extract (safe for shrimps and plants). Be careful, as even though it is a natural product it will most likely kill your snails. By using some sort of siphon vacuum cleaner you’d remove the dead Planaria from your tank before they start rotting. Following these thoughts, it’s why I usually choose the DIY Planaria trap over having to worry about Ammonia levels in my aquarium. How do planaria worms get into an aquarium? A few days later and all the worms seem to have pretty much gone, or at least I've not spotted any white wigglers in the water or white flat worms zooming across the glass over the past few weeks since treatment. So "No Planaria" seems effective against these detritus worms too, but it takes a few days to do it's job, not instant as per the hydra. The seed shrimp and cyclops type mini beasts were still there though, seemingly unaffected, and no big issue really. Actually pretty cool to watch. Do not overfeed your inhabitants. Your good intentions will lead to their death. One of the easiest ways to control the feeding process is to use feeding dishes. You can read more about “Feeding dishes for shrimp” right here.

Hydrogen peroxide is more effective than Excel, safer, and has other benefits for the tank. Spot dosing works well for effective control, but wasn't able to eliminate hydrate even after repeated treatments and follow up spot treatments. But good thing to do in a shrimp tank and great for removing hair algae from moss! Their voracious and non-selective appetite for living snails, as well as carrion, will work really well for you. In addition, they are actually quite a good cleanup crew as well. As you see, planaria are stubborn little flatworms that are dangerous to the tiny critters in your tank. Tip: If the snails do not come to eat blanched vegetables, it means that there is still a lot of other food in the tank. Note: Never add water from the bag into the tank. Do acclamation the right way. You can read my article about it here. 1. Quarantine
