Most flatworms, including Procotyla fluviatilis, are predators. They eat protists (including Amoeba, Paramecium, and Euglena), rotifers, nematodes, small crustaceans, aquatic worms, and other soft-bodied animals. They also feed on dead animal matter and larger animals that are injured.
Roundworms live in salt water, fresh water and the soil. Eating contaminated foods or getting worms from contaminated pets is the most usual way to get roundworms (a category of worms). Hookworms and pinworms are often the most common types of roundworms found in humans.
