Getting rid of flukes

[Dorkhedeos]

i just bought some worms today, i think they are black worms, but if you translate from chinese to english it is red worm. i found some worms that are kinda flat and are about 1 cm. i think they are flukes. how can i get rid of these so i dont accidently let them in my tank?

sorry i dont have the picture of the flukes, i flushed the ones i found down the toilet

they were probable more likely to be leaches of some kind.

if you net small ammounts into a tub and chedk it slowly over like this that will probable be the best way although quite slow.

got a picture, this one didnt want to get flushed with the other ones

looks similair to what turns up in some of my live food bags, when i spot one i just net it out.

what would happen if it gets into your tank?

Edit: so these worms are blackworms right?

i reakon 1 of my fish would gooby it down with glee but I'm not taking the risk with a tad under a 1k(£) of fish in there.

i'm not sure what they are, i just use live bloodworm.
