You can try one. Mine didn't touch them. But some people have reported success. If you have flatworms you need to put your best effort forward to get rid of them ASAP before the reach plague proportions.

My six line never went near the flat worms. Others have had luck with them, but not me.

I have to agree with Rueg... get them out now before it gets out of control.

Six lines won't do it. Yeah I've heard them eating them but I have'nt seen it myself. I've (by luck) have had a couple plagues of planaria with little to no luck other than time. I've tried numerous methods, but the only one that worked was time. It took a long while...but them eventually burned themselves out.
