First, the planaria infesting tanks with an excess of organics (especially in the substrate) are not parasitic (although there are some which are parasites),...
Although it is quite possible I read it wrong, I don't believe it is saying that the Planaria are parasitic; rather, something about secreting some toxin that...
I think the worms they are speaking of are those little white worms we see from time to time when there's an organic buildup in the gravel. I do not believe...
