There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
Will probably use in another aquarium in the future to kills some pest snails and planaria. I'm sure this stuff is fully capable of killing everything people say it can kill.
Please note 1 scoop = 50 Liters = 13.2 gallons of treatment.
I would recommend going lower than the recommended dosing (and they recommend 3 days in a row of dosing) and slowly ratchet up while you monitor the livestock you don't want to kill. I've read that this stuff can stick around in water for a while (unless water changes performed), so I don't see any need to try to rush the process and add a ton at one time.
Would recommend removing any dead snails as soon as you find them to keep water healthy and unpolluted
I found this product to be extremely effective in eliminating planaria and hydra from my tank. Follow the instructions carefully, and you'll see the results you're looking for. I was impressed with how quickly and thoroughly it cleared out the unwanted pests.
One of the best features of this product is that it's safe for shrimp and other aquatic life in your tank. I was worried about harming my shrimp, but this product didn't have any negative effects on them. Additionally, it doesn't contain any copper or other harmful chemicals, making it a safe and eco-friendly option.
However, it's important to note that while this product is effective, it may also harm other creatures in your tank, such as snails or certain types of plants.
The pricing of this product is on the higher side, but it's well worth the investment for its effectiveness and safety for shrimp and other aquatic life.
Overall, I would highly recommend SOBAKEN Genchem No Planaria Shrimp Safe Planaria Hydra Killer for anyone dealing with planaria and hydra in their aquarium. It's a reliable and safe option that gets the job done, and it's well worth the investment.

1 . Das große becken mit Panzerwelsen, schnecken und Garnelen habe Ich Ehrlicherweise muss man sagen überdosiert, weil wir so viele Planarien hatten und ich dachte das es nicht reicht. Resultat davon, so gut wie alle Posthornschnecken tot, Garnelen kratzen langsam auch ab, einer nach den anderen. Panzerwelsen scheint es gut zu gehen, Planarien nicht mehr gesehen, alle tot.
2. Den 2ten Becken habe ich richtig dosiert, alle Posthornschnecken, Krebse, Garnelen haben überlebt und bis jetzz nichts auffälliges. Dort ist alles super.
ACHTUNG -RICHTIG DOSIEREN VIELLEICHT SOGAR EIN WENIG WENIGER UND DANN MEHR WIEDERHOLEN ALS DAS WAS ICH GEMACHT HABE.
Ansonsten wirklich gut.
Drei meiner Piranhas sind über Nacht gestorben vier Neons und einige hundert Garnelen.
Am liebsten würde ich Rechtliche Schritte einlegen.
Vielen Dank ihr bietet hier ein tolles Projekt an
Werde mich auch an Amazon wenden.
