I have about 50 or so as of now in the net from multiple drops. They grow fast

I have a hard time recognizing if these are Planaria or something else. They are so small and even with bifocals Im half blind. To me they look rounded and white. Maybe you can take a look and help me distinguish them? I did try treating the tank with Planaria Zero. This is when I doubted my own identification of them as Planaria. Seems like they are unaffected by my dosing tank. Thank you! https://vimeo.com/419677635

I caught him eating it just a couple of minutes ago! It's pretty hilarious to watch, really, but I was impressed to see him actually eating it. Sadly I lost one of them - I think I had some water quality issues after I did a large water change, and some of my ember tetras got fin rot and/or fungus (all getting better now), and one of my SAE died. Hopefully I can get another some time soon, but I'm glad that the remaining one is doing fine, and I seem to have found the problem. Such a shame though, whenever a fish dies of anything but old age.

I've been considering doing the thing with the net as well, so I think it could be a viable idea. How many shrimplets do you usually get through this method?

as soon as I see eggs on a shrimp I put in the mesh breeder. Then I take the shrimp out when the eggs are gone and I see more newborns swimming. Am I doing this wrong? i know I should not have guppies in the tank but I can’t change that as of now.... Eagerly awaiting the ro system tomorrow

Thank you @jayc I used the following dosage that I found online: Please use the following amount for 50 L of aquarium water. 0 to 24 hours: 2 spoons (1 g). 25-48 hours: 2 spoons (1 g). 49 to 72 hours: 1 spoon (0.5 g). The tank is a 5 gallon, so used spoon that came in bag to measure out appropriate dosage. Im happy you were able to see a head to see if pinpointed or not- lol. Looks like a blob to me ?

Hi Discusluv, welcome to SKFA. Those look like rhabdocoela flatworms, not planaria. Planaria have an arrow shaped head. Having said that, Planaria Zero should work on rhabdocoela as well. What dose did you use? Did you follow the instructions?
