HELP I HAVE FLATWORMS

[Chris Adams]

Beautiful.
Let us know what you decide to go with.
I think most of us agree they do not appear to be flatworm but keep an eye on things

I have one piece of coral right now a hammer coral it was the size of my thumb when I first got it and now it's like the size of my Pam is there any way to get more color in it

Best way in my experience is stable conditions and feed with a good coral food, ( id wait until you have more corals in the tank to start that though, you don't want nutrients getting too high). Also remember that some corals colors are just their colors, ive got at least 5 different green hammers and they all have a different color shade to them and always have. id look into some other hammers and frogspawns if you like corals that have that movement and texture. Cant go wrong with a LPS tank in my opinion.

 

[brittany.ann.burleigh93]

I've been looking for some frogspawns but mostly my lfs carry ZoAs

Zoas are another good color addition especially in little gardens. How about brain corals those always seem to brighten stuff up and add some unique to tanks.

I wish I could find some but we only have two lfs stores around and one of them is petco and I refuse to go their they couldn't tell me the difference between a lawnmower blenny and sleeper goby. And half the time 59% of theirs tanks have dead fish in them

Although I do agree with you, if you see a healthy fish (or coral) at petco, I would snatch it up. You're probably saving its life. If it dies, it probably would have either way.

a mandarin goby(he eats frozen brine and my sister)

So... Is nobody going to comment on this???

This should be nominated for top auto-correct of the month!

You my friend deserve an award for pointing that out

Six line can get quite nasty and I would never recommend them. You're Dragonet may very well be eating them....have heard many reports of them eating flatworms. Probably best not to feed your sister to it.....

I keep thinking planaria but its not 100% positive cause of color

It's definitely Planaria. These are quite common in planted freshwater tanks. I've had these.

I just have to ask....How did *you* manage to get flatworms?

My guess is that they came in with a plant. I've stopped over feeding. There's only a Betta and several decorative snails. The Betta eats them if he's not asleep. I had two assassin snails that probably feasted on them after eating through my Pink Ramshorn family. In any case, you'll see them if you turn your light on late in the night. I only have one or two that I'll catch when I turn the lights on now.

Basically scavengers. And food. If you over feed you'll breed them easily.

I think you missed what I did there

Omg. Yes I did. Just reread my original post.
Lol. Thank you for the laugh.

They look like a type of pods and dragonets aren't as hard to take care of as people think if you buy bulk amounts of pods on the Internet then there fine I've bought alot of pods and I stock some in my tank and in my hob refugium once a month and I buy the big bags that have thousands of pods in them each month and my dragonet is getting very big and I've had him for about a half of a year! If you only have 2 lfs by you then you can go on the Internet and buy stuff from places because I've got a few lfs by me but some stuff they don't get and I always look on sites on the Internet and also some lfs can ordered what you want so just ask them

I get these all the time , dont know what they are , "me bugs" i call them , and frankly I get worried when I can see them.
To me its a sign of a healthy tank. I always wonder why people want to kill things just because it doesnt suit them , surely you have a tank to replicate nature

 

[stevieduk]

sorry should have been get worried when i CANT see them
