[alanseah]

go get a 6 line wasses....

[xiggie]

do they work ...

[Tanzy]

They don't. Neither do mandarins. Tried and tested to be not effective.

[xiggie]

sigh ..maybe ill just suck them out ... dont think itll work either .....

[alanseah]

well u can just take your mushroom out and put it into a pail of plain tap water.. and u confirm see snow of brown flatworm falling out...

but of coz dont dip your mushroom for too long else u can start cooking it for mushroom veg tonite..

[xiggie]

the problem is they have already started to crawl up me liverocks ... onto some starpolyps .. they seem to be ###### the juice out of the mushroom couple of shrooms are dead already ...

them feed on sponge as well.

[Guinness]

Their survival rate is not good in captivity (so i have heard), Yes, they will die when food runs out. Thats why i suggested you borrow or adopt one ....

Their numbers may spike but will dwindle after awhile (another hear say....) depends on many factors I suspect.

Salifert Flatworm exit? Wonder anyone had tried and tested this?

I've tried the flatworm exit with pretty good results. Hated it last time when i see them all over my mushrooms..but gone were the days... did 2 doses over 1 week....and they disappeared. Just make sure u read the instructions carefully. the toxins they release is pretty potent when they die

i always wanted to try tis out.

A super salinity solution, to kill all those pests in the LRs, but e problem is tat other organisms mite be killed too....

i did once pour salt directly into wholes of LRs... n e next moment, lots of worms came out!
