I bought this to kill the hydra in my freshwater tank. It sure did the job. I took out the snails (I like) as the directions instruct, and placed them in the hospital tank I already had set up. Did the treatment. Half of what the dosage says because it was only to kill hydra. I did the %25 water change and added a carbon filter for three days. Added the snails back and in a day they perished. Did a few more %30 H2O changes, added another carbon filter. Let that work for a week. Added more snails and they were sentenced to death. I ended up changing over to new sponge filters, taken out the original filter and media that’d been in the tank during the treatment. Finally, my latest, and only added 1 snail, just to test, has survived. I’d had some hitchhiking pest snails on plants so I’m glad those probably perished, which I am happy about. So besides killing Planaria, NoPlanaria will get rid of hydra and those pesky pest snails you didn’t want that have infested your tank.
A few months later and I am now treating my tank for planaria. Glad I already had the product on hand. I would recommend to anyone who is adding plants to their tanks to have this on hand. I do treat the plants prior to adding to the tank to remove snails, snail eggs and algae using tank salt and hydrogen peroxide, or alum on more delicate mosses as the salt and hydrogen peroxide kills moss. I’ll usually treat with the salt and peroxide for 15-20 minutes before adding to the tank. But i now know to quarantine longer for planaria. I’m a newbie back into this aqua scaping hobby using plants. Lessons I’m learning. And now can recognize the white balls on the plants as their egg clusters. I recently bought a plant which apparently had Planaria eggs so now I’m on day 4 of treatment. At first I went with the directions but wasn’t entirely killing the worms. I went back here to re read some reviews on how it worked for others. It looks like I’ll be continuing daily treatment until they’re gone. Once I spotted the first batch of worms I immediately knew what they were so I immediately removed the plants which visibly had white balls which are the egg clusters, so as to prevent any more from hatching in the tank. Upon re reading the directions on the package, it does say to continue dosing every 24 hours if the infestation is high which is what I will keep doing. I just did a gravel vacuum in the area where the worms seem to be staying in, to remove the dead worms and live ones as well. Hopefully removing the mulm in that area and skipping fish feeding to keep debris light and less for the worms to feed on. Just did a light dose of NoPlanaria early afternoon and will add more this evening. I realized that adding the powder to a little bit of tank water first dissolved the powder and this makes it easier to get the medication into the area of the tank where the worms are hiding. At first i was adding powder directly to the tank but it wasn’t dissolving straight away. This might be part of the reason why the worms weren’t being killed right away. I also turn off the filter for a few minutes to allow the meds to settle down into the substrate before it gets cycled throughout the tank. I think this helps a lot because shortly afterwards I observed the worms became lethargic and dying. Bingo I also went in with a scaping tool and mixed up the substrate a little to allow the meds to go down further.
I’ll keep on doing the dosing in this way until I no longer see anything. And will of course repeat the recommended dosing in two weeks. I’ll be back to let you know what happens.
Update; Now on day #10 of planaria treatment. I’ve been finding new hatchlings, at least I believe that that’s what they are. I believe that the medication is killing them because I don’t see any larger ones and numbers are still low from what I can see. I’m very frustrated at this point. I’ve done two big water changes as has been suggested by other users and will be doing another today. I’m convinced that this medication is not working as it should. By now after treating per instructions and dosing daily, sometimes lessor on some days and a full dose last night, I’m surprised to still see a few squirming around in the substrate. So, I’ve ordered fenbendazole and sincerely hoping to get better results. I’ll pop back in with results in a few days to let you know if I get results from NoPlanaria.

Works great!
First of all, my bag did not include a spoon, and it was difficult for me to measure, so i put the powder in 1ml cup, and i mixed with water and put in my 15 gal tank. The water becomes cloudy at first, but i watched 28 minutes and I noticed my hydra started to lose its longy strings, and the water already cleared up. It works great and effective, my rili shrimp did not get affected (i have no idea if i dosed the right amount or not because there was no spoon in the bag)
