Flat Worms on Frog-spawn

[afqu]

I am overdue a water change due to family emergency. Saw my frog-spawn looking a bit punk and thought...overdue water change. I had a flat worm group come in about 5 months ago and a sixline wrasse seemed to clean them up. I watch for them real close.

Well, my common brown/green tipped frog spawn is about just the right color so a not to seen the flat worms.

It is full of them. I did a search here and read a bit on fresh water dip (I assume FW is fresh water). Can I dip a frog-span, or should I go at this differently?
Thanks again,
Jean

i would dip a frogspawn in tropic marin pro coral cure or flatworm exit, you could do your whole tank in flatworm exit and not worry about them any more

I do not know a lot about flat worms, but I had some on a couple ricordea the other day and I siphoned them off and have not seen any since. If you just have a few, I would try to siphone before I dipped anything. I used a very small airline hose so it would not harm the coral.

How small of airline? Anything I tried tore the tentacles. I tried this before I posted yesterday. I have some small IV tubing I got at a hospital, but too small for the flat worms to go thru.

Contacted the lfs for flatworm exit, but of course not in stock.

Thanks all for the help.

I just did flatworm exit and it works great. I did loose one fish due to the toxins the flatworms give off when they die. I had alot of flatworms in that tank! You can get it from Dr fosters. Highly recomend since for every 10 you see there are probably a hundred in cracks and behind rocks. Siphoning only keept my population down untill one day whamo flatworms everywhere.
