OK, I thought those were tubellaria. They certainly looked to me like a 
picture of tubellaria that were eating my australe eggs. Planaria pictures I have 
seen are different and they are much larger when I find them in a tank. But now 
I read that Planaria are just one form of tubellaria. Chlorinated tap water 
killed hem and would work in a tank if you removed the fish for a day or two. 
Now I am confused.
