...just got one of these today since both my tanks have flatworms, one at truly plague proportions. What a cool little creature! I thought he was dead when he first arrived, but after 90 minutes of a 2 hours drip acclimation he started crawling around, and ate a couple planaria as soon as he went into the tank.

I have heard 'cover your powerheads' with these guys. My question is: how much suction is too much? I cut off my Korelia after I put him in the tank, but without it the tank barely has any flow (just the heater/chiller pump at about 5x tank volume -- hardly noticable, and maybe even less now that I covered it with a sponge)

I can barely feel the flow on the intake side of the Korelia -- is this still enough to cut him up?
