    If you have planaria in your tank, you will know what a pain they are living in your aquarium. If you're not sure what they look like, they're white (sometimes pink) flattish worms that tend to be about 10mm long and eat pretty much everything (apart from plants).

    Planaria scavenge food and as a result, are impossible to get rid of. They will also compete with shrimp, and if allowed will attack them or their eggs. If you feed your shrimp food, planaria will get there first which is what makes them so hard to get rid of. In the past, it has always been difficult treating a shrimp tank with anything, particularly a wormer which gets rid of Planaria. Shrimp are very sensitive and as a result, can easily be affected.

    Genchem No Planaria eradicates planaria without affecting shrimp.

    Features:
    * A safe treatment without affecting shrimp or plants
    * Biodegradable
    * Contains Betal Nut Palm Extract

    Remove carbon from your filter prior to dosage and dose according to packet instructions paying careful attention, not to overdose. After 72 hours perform a 25% water change and use activate carbon in your filter for a few days.

    Be sure to dose the correct amount.

    This product has been around for over 10 years and is well tested - the only complaints which ever come are when customers don't know how to calculate the exact amount of water in their aquarium. This means taking into consideration:

    * Rocks
    * Substrate
    * Wood
    * Gravel
    * Decor
    * Filters

    OR ANYTHING ELSE which is in your aquarium.

    Let's say your aquarium is 100L (when empty) - how much water do you really have when taking into account the above. 70L maybe? Maybe not (might be less or more but it's your responsibility to work this out). If you dose the correct amount it says then you won't have issues.

    Do make sure you're aware of what effect it can have on snails so if you have nerite snails etc, rehome them whilst you're treating and don't put them back in until you are positive all the No Planaria is gone. Once the treatment has run its course use Seachem Purigen or Carbon to remove any traces. You have to consider all livestock.

    Works on Hydra

    Used for an outbreak of Hydra. Followed instructions but only needed to dose for two days rather than three and it has done the job. One plant melted slightly but otherwise the rest of tanks inhabitants seem fine.

    Works really well on planaria.

    3 days decreasing treatment sorted my planaria issue out, however remove any snails from the tank. It wiped all of mine out.

    Worked well- I was using this to treat a tank for hydra rather than planaria but within two days the hydra had all gone making the tank safer for my shrimp and betta!

    Had a small Planaria outbreak in my 2 nano shrimp tanks, dosed the tanks, not seen any Planaria since and no visible effects to the shrimp even the tiny little new-borns.

    Highly recommended

    Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

    Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...
