Patience and the nitrogen cycle

Most beginners – about 90 per cent – end up killing their pet fish because they don’t understand what is called the nitrogen cycle. Fish produce waste and your aquarium’s ecosystem develops over time to cope with it.

There are a number of things you can do to protect your aquarium fish and control the nitrogen cycle.
