Hobby PLANARY X - trap for planaries

Hobby Planaria X is a specific trap for control and removal of planaries (platelminti), very common weed organisms in domestic aquariums. These flat worms, often invisible during the day due to their nocturnal habits, can rapidly proliferate and represent a concrete risk for the biological balance of the tank.

Particularly dangerous for:

• Shrimps (especially young or on suits)

• Fry

• Fish and crustaceans

• Debilitated animals

• Marine corals and invertebrates (in marine aquariums)

Unlike chemical treatments, often also harmful to useful fauna, Planaria X offers a completely mechanical and selective solution, guaranteeing maximum safety for the aquatic ecosystem.

Technical and functional features

• Structure with 8 entrance openings
  The planaries are attracted inside the trap and no longer succeed in coming out thanks to internal conformation.

• Passive capture system
  It does not use chemicals or drugs, avoiding risks for shrimp, fish and bacterial flora.

• Baits included
  Two specific bait capsules (Planaria X Special Bait) already provided for immediate use.

• Resistant and reusable material
  The trap can be cleaned and reused several times, making it economic and sustainable.

• Universal compatibility
  Usable in:

  • Freshwater aquariums

  • Marine aquariums

  • Shrimp tanks (caridine and neocaridins)

  • Nano aquariums

Main advantages

• Selective elimination of the planaries
  Does not damage other inhabitants of the aquarium.

• Total security
  Absence of chemical or toxic active ingredients.

• Ease of use
  Also suitable for beginners without experience.

• High effectiveness
  Tested method for light and moderate infestations.

• Continuous control
  It allows direct monitoring of the presence of planaries.

How to use

1. Remove the trap cover.

2. Open a bait capsule included.

3. Insert the bait inside the trap.

4. Close the trap.

5. Place it on the bottom of the aquarium with openings facing down.

Operating suggestions:

• Place the trap in the evening hours to maximize effectiveness.

• Place it in areas frequented by the planaries (near substrate or furnishings).

• Check the trap after a few hours or the next day.

Maintenance and reuse

• Once the planaries are captured:

  • Remove the aquarium trap

  • Empty it and clean it carefully

  • Reinsert new bait if necessary

• In the absence of the original bait, you can use:

  • Frozen food (MySIS, mosquito larvae)

  • Protein food for fish

Organic considerations

Plans proliferate in the presence of:

• Excess

• Poor maintenance

• Presence of organic debris

The use of the trap should be flanked by good aquarium management practices:

• Regular background siphoning

• Power control

• Periodic water changes

For those who are recommended

• Beginner aquariums looking for a secure solution

• Shrimp breeders

• Piantuced aquarium managers

• Fans of marine aquariums with flat worm infestations
