Review on πŸ” ISTA Clear Glass Planaria Trap for Cherry Shrimp, Crystal Red Shrimp, and Dwarf Shrimp - Ideal Aquarium Supplies by Maria Hase

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good alternative to chemical planaria powder or none

This product worked very well. After putting it in my aquarium for 10 minutes I had quite a few planarians. I am 100% satisfied with this product and it works exactly as described. I bought this because I have a healthy colony of Sulawashi shrimp in my aquarium that took a while to establish and I don't want to invade water lines with an increase in flat shrimp deaths due to the chemicals used. I noticed a few planarians in my aquarium and wanted to get rid of them. I have a few snails that have been added over the years but they are harmless and actually important to the layers which is a very important consideration. I was concerned that using a chemical would also create a huge PH spike and be a bigger problem than planarians, so trapping was another option.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
