Axelrodi202 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Are there any planaria treatments that are also ovicidal? I'd rather not wait 3 weeks in plant qt for any eggs to hatch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Dont think planaria lays eggs to be honest you can use a product like no planeria, helps with hydra also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelrodi202 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 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.

huntingtrees Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
