Fish POO in the water. That is the reason why filters and water changes are both necessary if you wish to keep fish successfully. The filters use bacteria to remove the ammonia and nitrite which are bi products of fish pooing and breathing in the water. The syphoning off from the bottom of the tank removes the decomposing detrious (including Phosphates). Whatever is left can usually be used up by healthy growing plant life in a balanced aquarium.
