Found this big flat worm

[MikeC]

Well you know how some people say "keep you hands out of your tank" " leave the rocks alone it looks good"

Well I didn't listen and glad I didn't
I was changing my aquaskape around a little, move a rock here, move another rock here and then I lift up one rock and found this, some type of flat worm the size of my thumb.

This was after I put it in fresh water for a bit and it still would not come off.
I ended up scraping it off,putting Joes juice,boiling water and viniger for good mesure before putting it back it the tank.

Sometimes it's good to move things around :wink1:

Ps I'm happier with my aquaskape now :spin:

Polyclad Flatworm. You put it back in the tank? I caught one, had it out of water for 8 hour and it was still alive...

hmmm....it didn't try to run away? are you sure it was a polyclad? the one i found moved really fast. ended up taking the rock out and left it in a bucket until it came out for food i baited on the other side. i then left the rock in the sun for a month.
i was afraid i would have had more that were hiding in other rocks but after i nuked the whole tank, i'm pretty sure they were all dead....:dead1:
