Before anyone asks, I only feed my Neocaridina shrimp on natural foods and that's once every week or two.
Genchem No Planaria, which does work but I think is somewhat expensive at £20 a packet. Fenbendazole (found in dog wormer's) also works not that I use it, trying to dose a 20 litre Shrimp aquarium might be a tad tricky!
Currently I'm using a homemade trap with varying degrees of success. Just wondering if anyone here has any treatments they use or ideas on keep these pests under control?
Planaria!

I must admit I've not had any outbreaks, but surely your piranha can deal with them?
Failing that any livebearer.....

Problem with having 20 litre Shrimp aquarium other than Endlers not much else will go in there and then the Endlers will eat the Shrimplets.
I'll carry on trapping them, failing that I see me asking @fr499y for a couple back.

haha! I do have plenty of youngsters in the nano, plus they have now been raised with the shrimps and don't touch them
