ive just found planaria in my breeding tank for guppies and snails and i also have a few ghost shrimp with some live plants in a 10Gallon hex tank! but i wanted to know if this was good or bad planaria and if i need to get rid of it?? cause the guppies will be feeders eventually if i cant get my needlenose off of live foods!!
 
increase wc to every other day for a week and you will get rid of them. also, feed less and you will not get them
 
they are harmless and oddly a sign of good water.. however they are also a sign of overfeedig and undercleaning

feed less
clean more

water changes will do nothing as far as getting rid of then unless you are cleaning the gravel as part of the water change
