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...
