The silent killer for fish is ammonia.
From too much fish excrement, too much uneaten fish food and decomposed plants.
It’s one of the early things that I experienced and others experienced especially with koi or goldfish that are known for creating a lot of waste, thus its important to have a gravel vacuum and do water changes.
But you can have the normal test strips that check for GH (General Hardness), Nitrates, Nitrite, Chlorine, Carbonate and pH. But these do not check for Ammonia and thus its important to also have ammonia test strips.
SJ WAVE offers ammonia test strips and these strips come with one box, once dipping into your water for 30 seconds, and look at the color chart on the bottle, which there are numerous shades of colors from yellow (safe), green (stress) to blue (unsafe).
This is an important for fish keepers to have, along with the normal aquarium test strops. And I love the fact that SJ Wave gives you a lot for your money (50 strips in a bottle and 50 strips in a storage bag).
The SJ WAVE Ammonia Aquarium Test Strips is recommended!
