Default For those battling planaria...

J&L just got a batch of Chelidonura varians. Extremely difficult to keep, but man does he suck the little buggers up.

FINALLY...and now I don't need one...I have been waiting for over a year and a half for these and finally gave up, dipped all the rock, threw out all the sand and am starting that tank over again..they were out of control! And now, they get them in....argh...oh well, someone will be happy!

Not my pic....


Yeah I've waited literally for years for these guys. I've tried dipping the rock and replacing sand in the past, I've also had my planaria colony crash and wipe out my seahorses (it was really rough, i'd had them for years). There must have been 1 that survived and now I have millions. But this nudi is actually sucking them up! I cant wait to be rid of them.

To say the least I was very happy!

Will the nudies survive once the flatworms are gone? I thought I read that their diet pretty much consists of... flatworms.

Everything I have read indicates that once the flatworms are gone...the nudi's need to be shared with friend as they only eat FW....
