If You Scoop Up Pond Water, Do You Scoop Parasites Too???

from Aquariums and Fish Tanks by Father Fish · host Father Fish

Parasites are everywhere and they are especially found in water. Ponds are full of parasites also known as microfauna. There are roughly 100,00 species of microfauna. A few examples of microfauna are: Ameba, Paramecium, Nematodes, Daphnia and Moina. When you have biodiversity in your aquarium, the good parasites control the dangerous pathogens. A good example of this is the ich parasite. If you have microfauna in your aquarium, ich will usually not be a problem. So travel with Father Fish as he explains that scooping parasites with pond water brings interesting results. #parasites #pond #fatherfish #microfauna #bacteria #biodiversity #ick #ich #aquarium #fishtank #fishaquarium #fishkeeping
