Local Flatworm Eating Nudi's and Cheato?
- Thread starter loosbrew
- Start date
I could probably snatch off a hunk of chaeto if you would like. Mine is really good stuff, but I don't have a huge hunk. I could pull off probably a softball size hunk for ya....Pretty good pod population in it....Let me know if you want to get together for this.
As for flatworms, I have pre-dipped EVERYTHING that goes into my tank with Coral Cure, Flatworm Exit and FreshWater (where appropriate). I have not had them in this tank at all, but if they aren't too bad a little parameter control and selective siphoning and I was able to control them....it generally takes about 3 to 6 siphonings and I got em under control....make sure your nutrients are controlled and they usually will wax and wane....I try to avoid FWE and stuff like that if I can....If you can remove most of your stuff to a bucket, give the rocks a FWE, Coral Cure and FW dip (excepting montipora) and deal with the population in your display. They will get better....
At any rate, drop me a note if you want some chaeto....I'm in Tuskawilla area, so I'm close....

Hey all,
Thanks for the offer but I picked some up along with some hermits and a sixline while I was at SITC today. It's starting to get to plaque proportions in a 120. Not really an options to remove the rocks and such, but nothing is really being affected by them. I've always had them, for as long as I can remember and never really minded them but like I said, theyre starting to create too many friends and need a little population control. I thought a FW eating nudi would fair well in there since it's a pretty calm tank with not too much flow and lots of space. I imaged the tank creating enough flatworms to sustain one for a very long time, if not indefinitely.
Any how, I really appreciate the offers!
I guess I shouldve check here before I head out to run my weekend errands.
Thanks again!
Luis
