Planaria (platyhelminthes), also known as turbellaria or flatworms, are unwelcome aquarium guests, and some of them can pose a threat to brooding fish. Because of their nocturnal lifestyle, the presence of these pests often goes unnoticed. These animals can reproduce in massive numbers, which can eventually lead to infection. In freshwater aquariums, prawns, young shrimp and their offspring, as well as weak animals, young fish and eggs become their victims. Flatworms can also live in marine aquaria, however, large numbers of them can cause damage to coral reefs and other animals. Practically all available chemical additives harm not only planarians, but also the delicate inhabitants of the aquarium. Planaria X removes these pests from your tank reliably and without the use of any chemical additives. Lured by the offered bait, Planaria sneaks into the trap through one of the eight holes and cannot escape again due to the special design.
Hint: Planaria X Special Bait is ideal for use as bait. If you don't have any on hand, frozen foods like red mosquito larvae or mysis will also work.
