Brown flatworms... I know, not the best practice to get fish just to fix a problem, but I was considering all of these for the tank regardless. The tank is going to be without fish for awhile as I am running fallow for ich, but I figure I can throw the newcomer into quarantine with the current residents while the tank settles. I read about mandarins working too but that wouldn't work out too good if I'm going to be keeping everything in a bare quarantine for the next 2 months. I however, also read that maintaining specific parameters can also help mitigate or even eliminate the issue. What do you think?
