itafx said:By that logic, you wouldn't be able to have fish in your tropical fish tanks because there might be parasites. Also, it seems to me that dog do water would carry a hugely higher risk of introducing bad parasites than a clean pond with healthy fish.
There would be no fish parasites in dog do water. I wouldn't put that water in my tanks either. As far as transferring parasites from one tropical tank to another, that is a real possibility. Hence, the use of a quarantine tank. Fish parasites live in water with fish, as they can't survive without them.
