planaria worms

[daddyg70]

Starting to get these guys on my glass. I know its related to overfeeding but it was recommended to pound the food up to 6x a day for 2-3" discus. How do I get rid of these guys?

Greg,
Wipe the glass down and do more water changes.

Thanks for the input. I already do 60-70% WC and I want to stick with discus only tank. I'll scrub the glass everyday and see what happens

What are you feeding? Some foods are much cleaner than others. You may need to rinse your internal filter media and wipe down the inside of the filter boxes too.

Hi Carol,

I feed my discus:

ONF2
Hikari FBW
CBW
tetra bits
Wattley Discus Formula

WC 70% every day; have not cleaned the filter and hydrosponges yet; had discus for almost 2 weeks now

Try cuttring out the frozen bloodworms and beefheart this week.

[daddyg70]

I'll cut back on the FBW

Get them now with formalin, use as recommended on the package and they will be gone for ever.
