Blue Velvet Nudi

After months of searching i hope I have found a natural solution to my flat worm problem.

Any one have a Blue Velvet which is about to run out of flatworms or has anyone used one to eat flatworms.

Thanks Nick

No, but just in case you didn't come across it, the spotted mandarin will eat them also. A lot easier to keep from getting blown around and shredded by your K4's also. Good luck!

I have bought three diffrent fish and have not seen any fish eat a flat worm. I already have two wrasse and had a scooter blenny. I would we willing to be the dragonet would end up starving. I think I will continue to look for a Velvet nudi.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I had a flatworm outbreak a couple years back and tried the velvet nudis. They chow down on the flatworms, but you can't really have any flow in the tank at all because they get blown around the tank and eventually end up chewed up in a powerhead. You just have to be really careful with them.
