Dear all

Just like hypertension in human, nitrates in goldfish setup is a natural silent killer.It is the end product of any nitrification cycle and an underestimated killer.Most literatures disregard its harmfulness and deem it as well tolerable.

WRONG!!!!!!


If a setup has been for awhile(matured) and your fish are falling sick with red veins, lethargy and flip over you can bet NITRATES is the cause.




Let me show you a video of how a tank of goldies thrive in a tank with nitrates in excess of 100ppm.This tank sits in my waiting room with a biweekly change of 30% water.and fed twice daily.Some of you are familiar with my acquisitions and you can see how they have deteriorated or degenerated over time.






Don’t regard me as Dr Frankenstein nor associate me with animal abuse(fish abuse for that matter)……..I’m just making my point with concrete evidence of the danger of high nitrate level.
