add damnbusia, orangethroat darters, fathead minnows, redbelly dace, sand 
shiner, and a lone central stoneroller to the list of fish that suck 'em 
down (the planaria grow & breed like mad in the water side of my amphib. 
tank at work so I scrape some out periodically & give them to the fish for a 
change of pace--the planaria get huge, some of mine made it to over 1" 
before getting fed)
