Important Freshwater Aquarium Note
Ammonia in an aquarium should be taken seriously. If ammonia is present, test the water, perform water changes as needed, check the filter, reduce overfeeding, and confirm that the aquarium is properly cycled. Ammonia remover media can help temporarily, but the cause of the ammonia should also be corrected.
