I'm battling a relatively mild case of brown flatworms (the photosynthetic kind) - I've done two treatments of FWE, but I can't seem to eradicate them completely. The second dose I did was probably a 150% dose, and it still didn't do the trick. I've basically been taking to occassionally siphoning the sand bed and squishing the ones on the acrylic.
I was thinking of getting a fish to try to control/eradicate the rest - has anyone had luck with this? I used to have a six-line, but gave that away a while ago, but I've heard that they will sometimes eat these things. I've heard spotted mandarins will sometimes eat them too (I guess the psychedelic ones won't?). Was thinking of getting one of these, or both. I gave away my six-line because I was planning on keeping fairy wrasses in the future, but that's not necessarily a must.
Figures that just when my dino problem started to go away, these guys show up. It's always something!
