The Neon Tetra Disease in Aquarium Fish

Image
  Neon Tetra Disease shorts for NTD are common in tetra fish, but rare among Oscar fish. It is a parasitic disease caused by the Pleistophora hyphessobryconis parasite. Currently, there is no effective method to cure the NTD disease, so it must be paid attention to prevention daily when keeping tetra fish in tanks. What Causes Neon Tetra Disease The main disease-causing organism is the Sporozoa. The spores are eaten along with the fish food and then enter the intestines of the fish. The spores transform into amoeba-type cells in the fish intestines, then spread throughout the fish body, and form groups of spherical cysts, especially in the fish body. The NTD spores gradually take over the fish's muscle fibers and are released when the skin is damaged or when the fish dies. It will infect other fish again and again in the same  fish tank . A tetrafish becomes vulnerable to it in two situations. ●Fish digest the body of the parasite-affected fish body. ●On indigestion of the contamin

How to Reduce High Ammonia in Fish Tank

Image
Maintaining a healthy environment for your aquatic pets is essential to their well-being and longevity. In an aquarium that is not properly established or maintained, ammonia can accumulate and reach harmful levels for fish. Ammonia in a fish tank Ammonia is a toxic substance that is released by fish waste and decaying matter, it can be detrimental to the health of fish. The main sources of ammonia are fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter such as dead plants or fish. Ammonia is produced through the breakdown of these organic substances by bacteria. In a healthy aquarium , beneficial bacteria called nitrifying bacteria convert the toxic ammonia into less harmful substances, through a process known as the nitrogen cycle. Initially, ammonia is converted into nitrite (NO2-) by bacteria called Nitrosomonas. But Nitrite is still toxic to fish, so another group of bacteria called Nitrobacter converts it into nitrate (NO3-), which is less harmful to fish in low to moderate con

How to culture nitrifying bacteria for fish tank

Image
When we build a new fish tank, it means that we should cultivate the nitrifying bacteria and other beneficial bacteria in the water and keep them a relative balance first. Among all the beneficial bacteria, nitrifying bacteria is the most essential one for clear water. What do nitrifying bacteria do in aquariums? The excrement of fish and the residual feed after feeding are decomposed into ammonia and nitrogen in the tank. Ammonia and nitrogen are poisonous, and fish will be poisoned or even die if they live in an environment where ammonia and nitrogen exceed the standard for a long time. So it requires nitrifying bacteria to decompose the ammonia and nitrogen and build a balanced ecosystem for the tank creatures. First, nitrifying bacteria decompose ammonia and nitrogen and produce nitrite, and then it decomposes the nitrite into nitrate. Nitrates are low toxicity and basically harmless to the tank inhabitants. It can be diluted with regular water changes. Where is the aquarium nitrif
