Keep everything clean. Clean your filter/sponges, vacuum substrate, cut down on how much is fed, clean up excess food/waste immediately after & you should notice the decrease in planaria.

They're not harmful to them though, just a nuisance. Oh, & don't turn your lights off & shine a light on the tank, you'll end up seeing the full deal as to how many of those guys there really are

This was one I found in my discus tank the other year. I scooped him out & kept him in his own tank, fed him...

There is a product out there called "No Planaria" , made from betel nut extract.

After some research and deliberation regarding the safety of using it in my axie tank, i gave it a try. Started in small doses slowly building up to the recommended dose.

It worked really well. no ill effects
