Water
testing is a
vital part of fish management and should be carried out on a regular basis.
Ammonia is ecreated as a waste product. Normally in an established pond a
beneficial bacteria
( Nitrosomonas ) coverts ammonia into less toxic nitrite. However from time
to time an ammonia
reading can be found, if on testing you find a reading other than 0.00mg/l
you will need to do
partial water changes until readings return to normal. Also by adding a filter
start at this time
will boost beneficial bacteria. Which in turn will help your biomass to recover.
