Since I have always appreciated viewing well kept aquariums/tanks, especially with shrimp and such, i guess it made the topic that much more intriguing. The good news is they are considered harmless.Thank you I’ve been really nervous about these little things. Your decision to buy separate implements for each tank was a wise one! Like earthworms, hammerhead worms live in the soil because they need a moist environment to survive. Humans are unlikely to be affected by the rat lungworm parasite since transmission of the parasite can only occur through ingestion. I must admit I was a bit scared at first but from what I read here I feel much better.Thanks for giving this valuble information,one day I found that on my dress that time I was afraid of that ,the sticky thing which is secreat on that is adher on my skin,so I think that it would create any skin disease ,but here after I never get fear of that .thank you .Thanks for the info, I’m a plumber in northeast Texas , and today I covered a hole I had dug up to fix a leak, got in my truck and was driving away looked at my forearm and liked to of had a wreck 10 inches long and a 1/2 inch wide head scared the s–t out of me, it looked like some kind of creatureI’ve seen them in NC now… one more thing to worry about… I will be stocking up on salt for these because I need the worms in our soil.Glad to have found this site thanks for the information been seeing these buggers past week because of heavy rains (Pennsylvania, USA) I have 3 kids and a outdoors cat so was worried about how harmful it was. How can you get rid of them in humans? They are free-living, that is they move about looking for food. General Flatworms. I had to repeat the procedure twice actually because I saw a tiny flatworm and I assumed it was Planaria again.So fast forwarding till now, my nanotank has a batch of 15 endler guppy fry that are about 4 days old, and I do see the flatworms in the subtrate. I vacuumed up many as they slide up the glass, but still they come. I saw them a couple of weeks ago.
Excretion A flatworm gets rid of wastes through the same opening it takes in food. At the tip of the head are what look like two eye balls with pupils facing each other – you can see it in the above picture!The pesky planarian is often confused with another flatworm, On the left, you have a planarian – its tell-tale trianglular head makes it easy to spot.
Arrowhead worms also prey upon slugs, which is good, but they can also carry the rat lung disease which they get from the slugs in Hawai’i, which is bad. Amazing how enthusiastically they ate them. Watching them attack and kill pregnant shrimp is nasty.Because the stores weren’t to open until the next day, I tried a diy trap. With them, this worm can perceive brightness.
Would you recommend this? Manual removal of planaria, such as using traps is guaranteed to be harmless to your fish. Do you think there’s a possibility to find a secret spot in dosage using the product you suggested that could effectively kill the worms but leave my precious snails safe and sound.Thanks in advance for any advice you can share on this tricky issue.That sounds like a really tricky scenario.
So i am wondering if it was t by e planaria.If you have eliminated all other causes, such as poor water quality, say your tank isn’t cycled or your water is high in ammonia (use an aquarium test kit) then it’s possible planaria are responsible for the deaths of your snails.Thank you for the wonderful information.
If what you are saying is true, it is serious and requires medical intervention.Food grade Diatomaceous Earth kills parasites, worms and a host of un wanted buggers in the digestive system.Lisa, I’ve read that a couple things will kill in humans.. Albendazole, Praziquantel. Tank has cherry shrimp and 2 ghost shrimp. !Sounds like you either had detritus worms or rhabdocoela those fish don’t eat planaria. i hope its ok to post a link to a picture here.
However, if you stock particularly sensitive plants you may want to do further research.for like a month we have planaria at our tank at work. The flatworm “was really fat,” Ritson-Williams says.
I followed the instructions and was very conservative with the medication. I currently keep approximately 9 different species and 17 different varieties of snails, ranging from the common Pomacea Diffusa , to more exotic such as Black Devils, multiple rabbit varieties, pagodas etc.
I’ve already lost several and breeding has almost halted or I thought it had. But, I was wondering if the sponge and/or BioMax beads should also be pulled?The beneficial bacteria lives in the sponge and biomax. for different tanks? They are most often found on the top of soil – like in a garden or on one’s lawn – after it has rained. Fortunately, I have no shrimp in that aquarium.
This write up indicates that they are not harmful but on another site I have found that they do carry toxins and because they eat earthworms it is suggested that they are cannibals and are possibly their own worst enemy.Thank you for this information.
