    Or even Planaria? Generally harmless, though in large amounts they show other, underlying issues. My one pond is filled with them, esp under rocks.

    Most fish won't eat them, but some fish like oscars do I believe.

    Gourami's I believe are quite effective. Heard some cichlids and livebearers like guppies too.Also, levamisole should work(I use the one for pigeons on Camallanus)

    But one should not have too may, if the tank is run properly, without excess food and stable parameters,
