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

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

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!

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
