Flatworms

Just needed to vent a little. No matter how careful I am, I have always ended up catching some dang flatworms in every tank I have had. Well, I noticed a few planaria in my tank last week and though I would let them be and see if they stayed in check. Well, tonight after seeing numbers getting up there, I broke out the sheep deformed and let them have it. It scares the heck out of me each time. Not that I am worried about the toxins from the flatworms, nor the effects of the drug on the fish or corals, I just know that it affects the micro fauna and other good bugs. I see the snails stressing, the stars withering, etc. I am going to do my best in the future to avoid having to use this stuff.

Thanks for listening. It helps to air it out.

 

I here ya lee. The inspection and dips don't keep them all or their eggs out. There Alwys seems to be one that is Teflon ,and makes it through. I know there are predator fish but those are hit or miss. Fortunately, they don't do much harm. Besides, the dewormer has done its deed. Thanks for the support.
