It is extremely toxic to fish, but is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in the filter of your aquarium. Ammonia is most toxic to fish when the pH is alkaline and the temperature is high, so it is most dangerous in hard water aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is nitrite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrite is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the aquarium and filters as they break down harmful waste ammonia excreted by fish. Although not as toxic as ammonia, nitrite is still very damaging to the health of the fish. Nitrite itself is in turn broken down into nitrate, which is much less harmful to fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is pH?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water in your aquarium. The pH scale runs from 1 to 14. Very acidic water is pH 1 and very alkaline water is pH 14. Neutral water that is neither acidic nor alkaline is pH 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to sucessful fishkeeping is good water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Water Treatments category in the PFK Manufactures Poll 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NTLabs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50561823441071,"sku":"733809001489","price":490.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/5345\/files\/NTLab-Water-Mini-Test-Kit-Water-Care-Conditioning-Pet-Plus.jpg?v=1790907312","url":"https:\/\/www.petplus.co.za\/products\/ntlab-water-mini-test-kit","provider":"Pet Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
