Thanks :) My assassins are currently on holiday in a tupperware :)

Anyone?!

Hi,   I have just finished treating my 64 litre tank for fresh water limpet, using "no planaria" - people seemed unsure as to whether this would work, but I can add another positive result - I think it has killed them all!   So before I treated, I removed my assassin snails as they would be...

I have a small army of assassins - havent seen a pest snail in months as a result! (but have just hoovered up a number of pest snail shells, so I can see they are doing their job!)

So today I replaced the carbon filter to remove the treatment - I can defintely say that the vast majority of the limpets have been killed - I think the ones I can still see are dead too as they look quite white. I also sucked up loads of shells off the gravel bed.   How long after putting the...

Just put in the 72hr dose of the No Planaria - I *think* its working, I cant see as many shells I don't think. I'll have to dose beyond the initial 72 hours to ensure I get rid of all the shells (packet says you can do so) - so at the moment this product is looking like a fairly good investment :)

I've just put my first dose of no planaria in so I'll see how I go :)

It sounds like your tank is having another cycle for some unknown reason.....hence causing the death of the fish

bought some off ebay. Going to also feed minimally over the weekend and see if i can get them to die off. People say they are harmless but I think they are ripping my thin leaved plants to shreds. I probably need to be a bit more rigorous with my cleaning in the tank too - it has been a bit...

Confirmed limpets!   I thought these images  might interest you guys - unfortunately I couldn't use the microscope attached to a computer, so I had to use the crude method of taking a picture down the eyepiece with a phone camera lol   The images are of the same limpet, one with a light...

I tried attracting them with Lettuce last night (as they like to stick to my thicker leaved plants). They didn't fall for it.   I now want to use napalm :(   I am seriously looking at setting up a temp second tank so that I can treat the first tank chemically (literally a last resort). I can't...

Interesting to find this thread - I think I am suffering with a plague of these fresh water limpets at the moment! And I mean a plague.....I think they came in on a plant from a LFS a while back.   I have 6 assassin snails who aren't touching them. They appear all over my glass, and tend to...

Hi all, I have had my tank set up for a couple of months now I think, it was a transfer from an old tank to a bigger tank. I initially had a mini-cycle which sorted itself out within a few days (and sadly lost a few fish). My latest problem is algae that I have noticed - I am getting a browny...

Hmmm, I put it on the inside as when I tried on the outside it ruffled up when I put the cassette back in the holder,but will try to move it when I clean the filter next! Thanks!

Hi, new here! Found this topic after an internet search regarding the super-fine filter and had a question about it! I too got the sample extra fine filter, the instructions say to place it next to the carbon filter in the cassette, but does it mean on the inside of the cassette (ie sandwiched...
