Planaria eggs

They do in fact lay eggs. In fact there are scientific papers documenting hatch times at various temperatures, which is where I got the 3 weeks (at 68 F) from.

 

I believe the betal nut extract products aren't ovicidal. In the past I asked about SLAqua's and they said a 2 week treatment is required for thorough extermination of any that were eggs. 2 weeks is the hatch time in the low 70s F.

I used Predator from GreenPepper awhile ago and all the Planaria in my tank are gone. Don't know if it targets the eggs too but I haven't seen so much as a single one crawling around in my tank since. Just make sure you follow his instructions to the letter. I did an experiment and let one of my Tigers eat the Predator (it's supposed to be used in a tea-bag so the shrimp can't eat it) and he was toast. Everyone else survived and no there are no more icky planaria in my tank.
