And I said *should* because that's what makes logical sense given what I know of the parasite, not because that's ever been demonstrated by research.
And as for the chemistry bit... Most tanks look like crap for a while in their early stages, the artificial ecosystems we maintain have to figure out what their equilibriums will be and different kinds of organisms will bloom and fade away. The art is figuring out what is a transient part of maturation, what is a sign of ongoing eutrophication that needs husbandry intervention, and what is actually just an invasive pest that can thrive in any conditions and requires more extreme efforts on your part. That all comes in time I think.
