Planaria? Help please!

Hi all,

still cannot see the arrow head

Sounds likely that they are Rhabdocoelas flatworms. In that case they are harmless, but not particularly susceptible to fenbendazole. I'd try @Witcher's suggestion.

Hi,

Just found a few Planaria in the bottom of the clear cleaning jar after doing some plant trimming and with a x30 glass could see the arrow shaped head and two eyes.

Cannot see any on the tanks glass so seems its the early stages.

Only have some Tetras and Dwarf Corys in the tank and some of the little 'pond' snails, so as mentioned in this and the other related posts in the forum seems we should use the Merck Panacur C Dewormer 3 X1g Sachet Fenbendazole 22.2 .

Whats not clear and no follow up post from @Sam robinson, is what amount we need to use to dose our 50ltr tank and how many times and how often should we should repeat the dose ?

Any information appreciated.
