Anything that eats flatworms??

[SaltyNewb]

Seems that I can't get rid of the flatworms, theres hardly any, but treatments only seem to temporarily work.

Does a six-line wrasse eat them? or any other fish I can try?

Thanks!


hopefully theres a fish that will also be a good addition to my tank!

Wrasses are your best bet.

Also a velvet nudibranch eats them. Good luck finding a healthy one though.

i've heard 6 line wrasses do eat them but i'm not a 100 percent sure if they all do that....or if it's a 50/50 depending on the 6 line

my 6-line doesn't

 

[MDboyz]

mine doesn't either....

All natural methods (except the Blue Velvet Nudibranch) are pretty much hit or miss. Good luck :thumbsup:

Six Line Wrasse (Eight Line Wrasse and Four Line Wrasse, too)

Yellow Coris Wrasse (Most other Coris Wrasses, too)

Mandarinfish (Most other Mandarinfish and Scooter Blennies, too)

Coral Banded Shrimp

Blue Velvet Nudibranch (Natural Predator and only specifically eats flatworms. Will die without them.)

I've got a Radiant Wrasse (similar to Coris) that doesnt eat them, well, he does, but not many. There is a tank near me that has a Melanarus wrasse that does eat them.

Where can I get a velvet nudibranch?
