BlakeyBoyR Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Generally speaking parasites by nature are called parasites because they need a host to live, be that a fish or other bigger bugs etc. If you mean water insect, then it depends on the insect. If you really mean parasite, then I dont think I've heard of a GOOD parasite in fishtanks, but on this forum Im sure there will be someone who jumps at the chance to prove me wrong.
