Planaria Removal

[Robert]

Hi all, Ive tried looking through the forum for the answer to my question without luck.

I have a shrimp free tank at the moment that has a planaria out break, if i bomb it hard with 'No Planaria' then do a 100% water change will their be any chemical fallout from bombing. Im no sure if the residue in my substrate and on the glass would be much of an issue or not.

Any alternatives are welcome.

i recently saw that aquakitz are now selling a planaria trap, i haven't used them but it could be worth a try. i think they are $4, not sure about postage though.

I wouldn't do a 100% waterchange cause it will have a detrimental effect on your filter bacteria, I would do a few 50% waterchanges over a few days, otherwise you'll have to cycle the tank again :encouragement:
