Flatworms

[jandlms]

While perusing my frag tank last night I noticed that somewhere a few flatworms must have gotten in past my dipping regime. I know that they are not really harmful, but I don't want he inevitable population explosion. What is the prevailing advice here?
Let them run their course but fw dip all zoo frags before selling.
Buy a 6line wrasse or other predator.
Flatworm exit or other chemical control

Just looking for advice folks????????????

FWE them now, Just have peace of mind of doing it and be done with it while they are down. No fw pred can eat them all in an explosion event.
Just a matter of time before they do. The dead/dieing bodies is whats toxic.
Nuke the tank while levels are low. Its easy and safe if you follow the instructions. Have a big waterchange of 30-50% ready for when your done with the tratment.
Its playing a game of chance with them, They may explode down the road so get them gone now, and then not worry about it again.
I use FWE as a dip now. All new arrivals after Q get a bath of FWE. Then the Q tank gets one.

I agree FWE now before they get to big to handle. As Creetin said follow the directions exactly and it some cases it takes more than one dose.

I FWE everything..... before they go into Q as I sometimes have to use the Q tank for a frag tank
