29g and flatworms: What to do?

[krazekajin]

I have noticed that I have a lot of brown flatworms in my 29g tank.
what should I do to get rid of them.
Does a six line wrasse eat them?
Will having a purple pseudochromis prohibt me from having a sixline?

The psuedo probably won't get along with a sixline. Peppermint shrimp will supposedly eat flatworms.

 

[krazekajin]

does anybody else know if a sixline and psudeo will get a long or not.
Has anybody used Flatworm exit. Is it safe, are there other alternatives to Flatworm exit or sixline?

I have used flatworm exit, and it was fine in my 2 tanks, nothing died that wasn't supposed to except afew stomenella snails. i don't know why they died and none of the other snails though.

I used Flatworm Exit on my tank also and nothing died except for the flatworms of course. Everything looked fine. Just make sure to do a 25% water change after and run some carbon

I would suggest you sending an email to everyone you sold halimeda to and tell them that you probably infected their tanks...

 

[krazekajin]

the halmedia was not in my 29g tank. It was in my 10g nano. Otherwise, I would have a disclaimer.

oh phew

Sixline does eat flatworms and I like the sound of the natural route rather than using flatworm exit. Not sure about your psuedo though. I thought I saw a compatibility chart somewhere on the net I'll see if I can find it. Not sure of it's validity though.
Found it. Line up the X and Y axises. Says "Caution."
