In olden days a proverb used to be told,if a well is not used ,it will get spoiled.The well must be always agitated and replaced .Stagnated water will always polluted,if it is a well or a pond ,If it is a small tank the position will be very bad.So it is always good the water must be systematically removed and replaced partially.The parameters to be controlled in a fish tank.

1.Ammonia

2.Nitrite.

3.Nitrate.

4.pH value.

5.water hardness.

6.Chlorine.

7.Pure water.

8.Carbon dioxide.

1.Ammonia:

This is the number one toxin This is created by fish waste and excess fish food.we must keep the water clean by changing the water and feeding the fish to the required amount.Provide good filter system.

2.Nitrite:

This is a very toxin matter and a product from ammonia.This must be zero and it will lead to brown blood and other deadly disease.

3.Nitrate:

This is a product from nitrite.Though this will be used as a fertilizer for the plants in excess it is toxin.

4.PH value.:

lowest is acidic and highest alkaline.though neutral is favoured by many fish ,each fish has its own value.More variation will affect the fish.

5.Water hardness:

low hardness means less salt and more hardness means higher salt content.low hardness not good.

6.Chlorine:

In drinking water chlorine is mixed for protection,but for fish it is toxic.some chemicals are available in the market for removing chlorine.

7.Pure water:

Like dirty water,pure very clean water also not good.bacteria cannot thrive in very clean water.Nitrogen cycle cannot happen without bacteria.

8.carbon dioxide:

This is the product of fish,plant and bacterial respiration.this can be controlled by changing water,photosynthesis, and big water surface.

Testing kits:

Dear folks,

As an advacate for your pets,I request you to spend some time and money for your pets.Kits are in the market to check,oxygen,ammonia,nitrite,chlorine.Please buy and check the condition of the water.

please make your comment.

Good fish keeping and bye...
