Not All Parasites Are Bad!?

Parasites are the bane of existence for many fish keepers. Father Fish explains how parasites can be good and helpful. In fact, parasites are desirable. Parasites live in your aquarium anyway, so you need to learn how to capture their positive attributes. If you try and kill every parasite, then you set your fish up to get sick and die if a parasite enters the water column, which is bound to happen sooner than later. If this happens then you most likely turn to chemicals which may kill the parasites but stress your fish as well. As you watch the video, you will find out the usefulness of parasites; controlling other aquarium parasites, assisting the food web, feeding micro and macro fauna which feeds fish and fry and and the list goes on.
