Hello all!

I have purchased a pair of Kribs not too long ago and have discovered the
addition of planaria in my tank. I've only seen one so I'm hoping that there
are not a lot in there.

Is there something I should do to dispose of these? I have two Kribs, a
pitbull pleco and a dwarf bushy-nose pleco in the tank and I don't
over-feed.

I heard that with the plecos and careful feeding that they will eventually
die off but I just wanted to be sure that this information is correct.

Thanks,

- J

If the kribs are of different sexes, you might end up with fry in some
time. If so, the planaria will be an exelent foodsource.
