Hello, there are many flatworms in my tank, which fish should I use to clean them?
The dimensions of my tank are 24''20''20'', it is a tank without sand,
fish in my tank 1x powder blue tang
1x sixline wrasse
2x bangai cardinal
1x harley quin shrimp
sixline wrasse doesn't touch flatworms at all

Potassium chloride, right off of Amazon and it’s cheap. That’s the best thing to dip them in for bugs.

My bad I thought you were talking about Corals, I’ve had many wrasses that we’re supposed to take care of the flat worms, but none of them ever did except for one, i had a yellow tail tamerin wrasse that hunted them

I actually think your suggestion for a KCL (in a salt water dip) would be more useful than a fish for these. Any fish that tried to eat a flatworm is probably going to nip the flesh and eat that too.

Potassium chloride is the way to go for those things, if you have a lot of them like I did, I was told to dip them twice a week for 10 weeks so that’s exactly what I did and still didn’t get them all, I had to do it for 14 weeks, they lay so many eggs to so look for those as well and scrape them off with something
