NFC: Re: Re: Planaria

Hi Wally,

I've got some fathead larvae and some Cyprinella leedsi larvae... I'll put
some planaria in a cup with some larvae and see :)

These are 2 - 3 CM, and definitely easy to keep.  So, I'm sure they could
take over a tank easily.

Remind me what fish you keep Wally?

Paul
