Two notable zooplankton returned this past fall and winter – daphnia and bosmina. They had largely disappeared from Tahoe after invasive mysis shrimp were introduced in the 1960s. The shrimp were so abundant in the lake that a California nonprofit group was studying ways to harvest the shrimp and turn them into dog treats.

In 2021, the mysis shrimp population crashed unexpectedly, and a year later, daphnia and bosmina were thriving.


And that folks is what a system is. A God created system, He is good at systems.

Yes, but He has a system for all His creatures.

He has one for mysis shrimp, and another for zooplankton, and even a system for both.

Two years after I moved into my current house. we had an infestation of Japanese beetles that ate the foliage of the bushes and trees in our front yard. Our neighbors had them, also.

We sprayed them, put out traps, etc, but they came back the next two years.

That third year, I noticed a small wasp was also colonizing the plants in our front yard, even building nests in our mailbox. I thought I might need to get rid of them too, until I saw their larvae feeding on the beetles.

Buy the end of that spring, the beetles were gone, and have never come back in 18 years. The wasps are gone too.

At Father Fish on YouTube we have been teaching the importance of creating natural conditions to develop healthy aquariums. Countless people are learning the importance of allowing nature to work uninterrupted by chemical and intrusive actions.
