Agreed the Flaworm exit is pretty much the best hope.
Which flatowrms do you have red or white.

I had a small flat worm problem a few months back and Flatworm Exit worked great. You want to make sure to siphon out as many as you can before using the treatment, and also keep siphoning when they start dying. It happens within minutes of adding the solution. It would also be a good idea to run some carbon when you are treating as well. Flat worms produce a toxin when they die in your tank.

I have these suggestions having used this product before.
1. Always have a polyfilter ready
2. Have a good 30% water change ready
3. Run plenty of carbon
4. It is very benifical to have a canister filter with this application.
