:whstlr: Thank you, Thank you.
It is such a thrill:whstlr:
I had that chilton in my nano for over a year.
I rarely saw him as he was always in the rocks and only came out in the black of night.
Then a few months ago he traveled around the sides of the tank for a couple of days during the day. Then I found him dead. He was pretty cool even if I went months without seeing him.

Ok,, So what are those lovely little things in the upper left corner(above sandbed) in the picture?.... eeeewwww
Food for my Peppermint shrimps...
Watch below...
Actually aquaman3680 is right... they are flatworms. They were more rampant a month ago, but have dissiptated since then. I also attribute my sixline's huge belly to them... he eats them so much that he ignores almost everything else.
Here's a thread I started when I first discovered one of these in my tank.

I love that video, especially the music!! We just scored a baby 6-line for Mike's infested 14g, hope he's as hungry!!!
Thanks!
After your sixline settles down and you see him eating, you want to feed him sparingly in order to keep his attention on the flatworms. I spot feed the rest of my fish in the tank. I also see my chromis and long nose hawk eating them. I guess that's one of the reasons why I've been able to keep them in check.
Also, increased flow seems to keep there numbers down for some reason. I noticed an increase after I went away for a few days and returned to find three of my powerheads had seized. So you can also try increased flow in your tank.
They haven't gotten out of control on me, so I refuse to treat with Salifert... besides my fish love to chomp on them...:grr:
