or flatworms. Not sure which. Clear with a split tail ending in points have invaded my fuge...At first me and my kids thought they were cool, crawlin on the glass, eatin a few pods lookin all alien, but now 2 have turned into 17 (on the glass at the moment) and while still not to much of a problem, these guys seem to reproduce quick and I want to have a plan in case I need to intervene and "whack'em"...Any sugg's?

I had an outbreak of those in my nano.. quiet disturbing looking, but they are harmless, and they eventually just went away on their own. I did suction a good many out at one point because I didn't like they way they looked.

Shimek states they eat the brown/red type -planaria, no one has confirmed this though.
