NFC: Re: Re: Re: Planaria
Hello again Paul,
Well I keep a little of everything from big cichlids to least killie fish
and everything in between. I have never seen the planaria in a tank with
fish no matter what they are but everytime I empty one for more than 2 weeks
there they are. I think they come in in my well water (what a pleasant
thought) good thing the drinking water is R/O LOL
