Flatworms!!!!

Okay so I seen one a few weeks back and now I see 20-30 with a quick glance at my sandbed. I sucked a few out to look at under the microscope and it was cool!!

Watched him crawl around a bit and just observed it! I have to load video to YouTube then link it later.


Anyone know if I’ll have issues down the road with these guys? Don’t look like planiaria to me. Will suck them out as I go about water changes and stuff for now.

Here’s the YouTube video

The color is a little off for red planeria but the shape and the spot are very similar. Plus the fact you saw so many in just a couple weeks makes me think you've got the bad ones there.

I mean honestly could have been there tanks been on auto pilot since it’s new and only 1 tailspot blenny and 2 sexy shrimp in there atm. Barely feeding and definitely have huge copepod population too so I’m happy for time being.

Maybe a damsel or wrasse is in my future then to help control. It’s only a 20g tank though.
