The problem with the velvet at least in my case, was that it floated around the tank and end up in a power head, like shredding $20 bills
I have use flat worm exit couple of times and they keep coming back, I guess I need to dose 3 times that amount

I think they develop a resistence level to flatworm exit. You will likely have to up the dosage. When I did mine, I did 200% of recommended dosage.

I have seen a six line eat them.Not sure if all will.But then you have to worry about the sixline being a bully.
Good Luck! |

scooter blenny --
i had a bad flatworm problem about a year ago.. added a red scooter blenny and hadn't seen a flatworm in the tank until the blenny decided he would rather live in the overflow box. now the flat worms are starting to show up again. evidently he didn't totally eradicate them but i firmly believe he kept them in check.. i'll be breaking the tank down soon and fishing him out of the overflow,,, so he can continue ransacking the flatworms...
