Review: Works on hydra. Now doing Planaria mid treatment - I bought this to kill the hydra in my freshwater tank. It sure did the job. I took out the snails (I like) as the directions instruct, and placed them in the hospital tank I already had set up. Did the treatment. Half of what the dosage says because it was only to kill hydra. I did the %25 water change and added a carbon filter for three days. Added the snails back and in a day they perished. Did a few more %30 H2O changes, added another carbon filter. Let that work for a week. Added more snails and they were sentenced to death. I ended up changing over to new sponge filters, taken out the original filter and media that’d been in the tank during the treatment. Finally, my latest, and only added 1 snail, just to test, has survived. I’d had some hitchhiking pest snails on plants so I’m glad those probably perished, which I am happy about. So besides killing Planaria, NoPlanaria will get rid of hydra and those pesky pest snails you didn’t want that have infested your tank. A few months later and I am now treating my tank for planaria. Glad I already had the product on hand. I would recommend to anyone who is adding plants to their tanks to have this on hand. I do treat the plants prior to adding to the tank to remove snails, snail eggs and algae using tank salt and hydrogen peroxide, or alum on more delicate mosses as the salt and hydrogen peroxide kills moss. I’ll usually treat with the salt and peroxide for 15-20 minutes before adding to the tank. But i now know to quarantine longer for planaria. I’m a newbie back into this aqua scaping hobby using plants. Lessons I’m learning. And now can recognize the white balls on the plants as their egg clusters. I recently bought a plant which apparently had Planaria eggs so now I’m on day 4 of treatment. At first I went with the directions but wasn’t entirely killing the worms. I went back here to re read some reviews on how it worked for others. It looks like I’ll be continuing daily treatment until they’re gone. Once I spotted the first batch of worms I immediately knew what they were so I immediately removed the plants which visibly had white balls which are the egg clusters, so as to prevent any more from hatching in the tank. Upon re reading the directions on the package, it does say to continue dosing every 24 hours if the infestation is high which is what I will keep doing. I just did a gravel vacuum in the area where the worms seem to be staying in, to remove the dead worms and live ones as well. Hopefully removing the mulm in that area and skipping fish feeding to keep debris light and less for the worms to feed on. Just did a light dose of NoPlanaria early afternoon and will add more this evening. I realized that adding the powder to a little bit of tank water first dissolved the powder and this makes it easier to get the medication into the area of the tank where the worms are hiding. At first i was adding powder directly to the tank but it wasn’t dissolving straight away. This might be part of the reason why the worms weren’t being killed right away. I also turn off the filter for a few minutes to allow the meds to settle down into the substrate before it gets cycled throughout the tank. I think this helps a lot because shortly afterwards I observed the worms became lethargic and dying. Bingo I also went in with a scaping tool and mixed up the substrate a little to allow the meds to go down further. I’ll keep on doing the dosing in this way until I no longer see anything. And will of course repeat the recommended dosing in two weeks. I’ll be back to let you know what happens. Update; Now on day #10 of planaria treatment. I’ve been finding new hatchlings, at least I believe that that’s what they are. I believe that the medication is killing them because I don’t see any larger ones and numbers are still low from what I can see. I’m very frustrated at this point. I’ve done two big water changes as has been suggested by other users and will be doing another today. I’m convinced that this medication is not working as it should. By now after treating per instructions and dosing daily, sometimes lessor on some days and a full dose last night, I’m surprised to still see a few squirming around in the substrate. So, I’ve ordered fenbendazole and sincerely hoping to get better results. I’ll pop back in with results in a few days to let you know if I get results from NoPlanaria.
Review: My Experience - I ended up getting Hydra in my tank and my Amano and Otos never seemed settled, they couldn't find a resting spot because of the Hydra. I never saw any Planaria, but I had pest snails galore. I figured I would try No Planaria because it was shrimp and plant safe. I researched and researched this product and read great things and bad so I was very nervous to dose it in my tank. I actually waited a couple days, second guessing whether to even use it. Ultimately, I decided I wanted to see my Amanos out and about again, so I removed my Nerite Snails and dosed my tank. I have a 28 gal Euro Bowfront, I'm guessing around 24 actual gallons in the tank. So, I did 2 scoops which is rated for 20 gallons. After an hour I saw several Nematodes(roundworm) struggling or dead in my tank, I didn't even know they were there, I had never seen them before. After 12 hours, I could see some Hydra deaths, but some were still alive, after 24 I saw very few Hydra alive. 36 hours I no longer had any visible Hydra, and I didn't see any pest snails anymore. I saw what I thought was a dead Amano on my driftwood on the second day, but then I realized it just molted. At the 48 hour mark, since I didn't have anymore Hydra, and never saw any Planaria, I decided it was not necessary to do another treatment. I did a 40% water change on the 3rd day, my Rummynose, Otos, and Amanos were all doing well. The 5th day my quarantined fish were ready for my tank so I did a 25% water change and added 2 German Blue Rams and 10 Ember Tetras, and 3 days later everyone is doing great. In fact my Rummies heads have never been so red, Embers are starting to color up real nice and my GBR are full color and pink bellied. All my plants are doing just fine as well. I got rid of the Hydra, pest snails and the Nematodes I didn't know I had, I feel like I have my tank back in my control again and I will wait about 2 months before I return my nerites, I read where people lost there snails after returning then 1 month later and I don't want to risk that. I might just quarantine my new plants with this in the future, so that I won't get this stuff again in my main tank. Update: Everything is still going great, no deaths, I have since added 3 more Amanos. I did however come across one snail that made it and that was a baby Ramshorn, so maybe it was still in an egg at the time. Be that as it may, I like Ramshorn snails so that is staying in as a tankmate. Very happy with my results about two weeks later.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many gallons will the entire package treat?**
A: its only for 12 gallons Each treatment is pre-measured for treating a 12.5gallon aquarium and will have three packages labeled #1, #2, and #3.

On day 1, empty package #1 into your fish tank and mix well. On day 2, empty package #2 into your fish tank and mix well. On day 3, empty package #3 into your fish tank and mix well. After the 4th day you should notice that the planaria are either all gone, or that they have stopped moving and will eventually disappear. PLEASE make sure that after the 4th day that you conduct a water change and thereafter conduct regular water changes. This is particularly true for aquariums heavily infected with the planaria because the dead planaria will begin to decay and will raise the ammonia and nitrite levels if not monitored.

No Planaria is a natural ingredient.

**Q: Is this safe to use with scaleless fish like Otocinclus Catfish? (I have a school in my shrimp tank)**
A: It’s safe for all fish and shrimp. But not safe for planaria, hydra, detritus and most snails.

**Q: How much is a spoonful**
A: The spoon included matches my 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) spoon

**Q: Does anyone have an accurate dosage by weight per gallon?**
A: One spoonful on my standard digital kitchen scale didn't even register as 0.1 ounce, as it is a very fine powder and has very little weight. You'll have to dose by volume and not by weight. One spoonful treats approximately 50 liters, or about 13 gallons. You can Google "Gallons to Liters", calculate out how many liters your tank has, then divide that number by 50 to calculate how many spoonfuls needed per dose. To dose my 5 gallon tank, I calculated that my tank is about 18 liters or so, which means that 1 spoonful was way too much - I only needed about 2/5 of a spoonful. To measure out a small enough dose, I put one scoop of the powder on a flat piece of paper, cut the amount in half, and then took a bit out of the 1/2 portion to put a little less than 1/2 a scoop into my tank for the first day's dose. I didn't seen any hydra 12 hours after the dose, but just to be safe, I measured out about 1/4 of a spoonful to dose the second day.
