Hello everyone, about 2 weeks ago I treated my tank with salifert flatworm exit, because I had lots of flatworms, and all of the large ones died within an hour after treatment. But I still see something little on the glass I think its baby flatworms theh didn't die for somereason . Does anyone know how to get rid of baby flatworms? I'll leave a pic of the flatworms before the treatment , camera cannot capture the baby flatworms so I can't show a picture of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I dose KZ Flatworm Stop and has been doing so for about 6 months. Works great for me; if there's any flatworms left they have the decently to stay out of my sight.

As for the babies, do you have any wrasses in your tank?

Give it some time then! :) He'll take good care of you.
I am no expert on the Salifert products, but this is the one I am using for flatworm control. Give it a look :D

Best of luck..

I use it as preventative dosing now mostly. I don't think I have any wee worms left- they might be there without me knowing though.

So yup. I use it long term basis and not just "when i see them".

Watch the video! :-) There's other good ones out there on the Tube as well.
 
I am just watching the BRS 52 weeks 2nd edition now actually and in Week 4 ep. 1 they're talking about flat worms (among other things!).

Starts at around 55 minutes in..
