Planaria cannot be killed. You can try Fenbendazole. Go to a pet shop and ask for deworming medicine for dogs. Powder the tablet, add to boiling water, mix it thourougly. Add the water to the tank once it cools down. Don't hold me responsible if your fish die, be careful.

Continue for 2-3 days, the population should come down.

There is an easier alternative. Stop feeding your fish for 3 days, all the planaria will disappear.
