qa2744 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I exploded in population covering the tank glass. I am not a flatworm, but maybe some other type of planeria? i am not a detritus worm. i can be knocked off the glass by running the algae scraper over me, but then i float to the bottom. Liquid Fenbendazole greatly decreased the population by 90 % over three days of treatment but did not kill them all. i can be smushed like a pond snail but am much much smaller. (about the size of a pencil tip) Any ideas what this is? and how to treat it? i could dose again? the tank is a 15 gallon plant and shrimp and snail exclusive (no fish). i am guessing these are hitch hikers from some plants i added about 2 weeks ago.

Tpshrimper Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looks like a limpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barvinok Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Second for limpet. They are harmless. You can squish them and they become shrimp food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2744 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 thanks, i wish my shrimp were as hardy! I will keep squishing away. BTW I also dropped in three assassin snails, so lets see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
