A parasite is an organism that survives in a non-mutual relationship by obtaining nutrients from the host organism or lives off the host organism. In the case of parasitism, the host is harmed while the "parasite" receives benefits that could range from nutrients to shelter. This strange sickness the Angelfish is receiving is most likely due to the parasite in this instance deriving nutrients from the organism and depleting it's immune system or a disease passed on by a parasite. Hope this helped! :)

when discussing acids and bases a solution containing a large number of hydroxide ions, by definition, is considered?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Acids are solutions/substances that tend to break off to make a hydrogen (H+) ion when placed in an aqueous solution; i.e. solution with water as its solvent.

Bases, on the other hand, produce a hydroxide ion (OH-) when placed in an aqueous solution. 

Thus, by definition, we can safely assume that a solution containing a large number of hydroxide ions is considered a base.

If you are unclear about this, or still need help, please feel free to ask me further. Thank you.
