That's true. I am just not looking forward to catching the sucker to move him out!

Bela, I wrote this red planaria tutorial a while back on the forum. http://www.greateriowareefsociety.o...aspx#15869 I have the worm remover stuff in my fish room, but I'm sure you can find some in Ames at a local farm store.

Thanks for that! I could probably get the dewormer free at school too
Mostly I am just worried about the size of tank and just wiping it out with the toxins that these buggers release when they die. If I do go chemical I will suck out as many as I can before adding the wormer so there is less of a chance for disaster.

Those things stink like xenia too. very nasty critters. The worst part is you can probably only see about 30% of them. Just make sure you nuke it before you start your new big tank! You definitely don't want them in there.
