In this YouTube video, Father Fish discusses ammonia, old water, dirt, nitrates, and plants in a natural aquarium. He explains how these elements, often perceived as harmful, are crucial for a balanced ecosystem. Ammonia, produced by fish waste, is converted into nitrates by beneficial bacteria. Ammonia is also taken up directly by plants. Old water and dirt contribute to the biological equilibrium, supporting microbial life that benefits the tank's overall health. Father Fish emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics to maintain a healthy, self-sustaining aquarium. FATHER FISH is an advocate for natural aquariums.
