I think these had come through on some plants I ordered. When i was waiting for my big tank to arrive i had to put all my plants in a holding tank, that tank also had a couple of Nerites in. One day I noticed one of the Nerites looked a bit dead, saw some beige coloured creature on its shell only about a 1cm long. Since then and planting up the big tank i have seen larger 1/2 an inch creatures. No they arent Planarians, these attach on to things with a sucker at one end and when they move or feel around they stretch out. I think that is how they move, they dont seem to swim. I have picked out half a dozen, problem is they seem to carry live young underneath them, live minature replicars the adult just a few mm long. When you grab the adult the babies are expelled. Bummer!!
Not quite sure what kind it is, but i think these predate on snails. I did have fish in the holdiong tank for about 3 weeks and none came to any harm and now in the new tank there is some fry from the fish that had bread in the holding tank.
Otherwise no other fish have gone into the new tank yet. i do keep loaches, hopefully they will eat them.
