I had two of the black with blue stripes and they didnt last long. If you have a lot of flow in your tank they will just blow around the tank.

The flatworms will run a coarse. They will number so large you cannot see rock or sand. Then one day they will die off by themselves and no harm to anything...unlike some dewormers I know.

Good luck...

I've seen it happen, but it's not uncommon for the flatworms to continue to thrive for many years in large populations.

Look into Flatworm exit by salifert. It works. But you MUST, MUST, MUST follow the instructions, especially if you have a lot of FW, as the dieoff can be toxic. The product itself works great. Several of us locally have used it, including one guy who literally had millions in his tank. The treatment was A LOT of work, but he was successful.
