PLANARIA X

Trap and bait for Planaria (flatworms)

Planaria (platyhelminthes), also known as turbellaria or flatworms, are unwanted visitors to an aquarium, some of which can even pose a threat to nursing fish.

Due to their nocturnal lifestyle, the presence of these parasites often goes completely unnoticed. These animals can multiply in huge numbers, which can eventually lead to infestation. In freshwater aquariums, their victims include shell-changing shrimp, small shrimp and juvenile shrimp, but also weak animals, juvenile fish and eggs.

Flatworms can also live in saltwater aquariums, however, large numbers of them can cause damage to corals and other animals.

Almost all available chemical additives not only harm planarians, but also the sensitive inhabitants of an aquarium.

Planaria X removes these pests from the aquarium reliably and without the use of chemical additives.

The bait provided attracts the planaria which are dragged into the trap through one of the 8 openings and cannot escape again due to the special design.

Tip: Planaria X Special Bait is ideal for use as bait. If you don't have it on hand, frozen foods such as red mosquito larvae or mysis can also work.
