Does ammonia affect the growth of fish?
Yes, ammonia can not only affect the growth of fish, but if the ammonia level in a tank is too high, it will kill them.
Is ammonia normally found in urine?
Yes, Mainly in cat urine as they use it to mark their territory. Ammonia is what makes the urine smell, it can also make you high.
Can ammonia build up with fish and turtles together?
Ammonia can be built up in them separately or the two together. Some species of fish produce more waste and therefore more ammonia than others, for example the goldfish. Turtles are also very wast producing and turtle tanks are often high in ammonia. All fish produce ammonia. So yes.
My goldfish turned black and just died what happened to it?
When fish turn black, it means that their body has been harmed with too much ammonia. Ammonia to fish is like acid to human skin. The black you might be talking about is called ammonia burn, which makes the fish scales black. My comet goldfish has been through that before, although it lived. Nearly the whole body was black besides the core stomach area. If a fish has too much ammonia in it's water, it might die, because high ammonia levels are not good for fish, as well as it will make the fish black im the same person who asked the question. How does ammonia get into the water. From tap water?
What happens to the oxygen level at high altitudes?
the oxygen level decreases
My Siamese fighting fish darts around the tank and flares up a lot. Why is my fighting fish so aggressive?
The water must have high ammonia and its hurting the fish. Get special drops from a pet store to fix this problem.
Can you drink ammonia?
Definately not. Ammonia is toxic in high quantities.
How do fishes in the aquarium survive?
Sometimes fish die in aquariums when the ammonia level is too high. I recommend taking a sample of the water to a pet store to have it checked for anything wrong. I had fish dying and took mine to have it checked. When I got the levels water problems fixed my fish stopped dying. It could be from high ammonia levels, not enough oxygen, not the right temperature, or a disease or parasite
Will ammonia harm porcelain tiled floors?
Yes. Ammonia is a chemical substance with a very high PH level. If it were to react with a substance of basic composition such as granit, porcelain or potassium it will disintegrate that substance until the acidity of the ammonia is neutralized. I would reccommend very hot soapy water with a balanced PH level and good old elbo greese.
How do you get rid of the amonnia in your fish tank that is turning your fish black?
There are three major reasons you can have high ammonia in your tank. First, you could have a dead fish in there. When a dead fish rots it makes ammonia. LOTS of ammonia. So, check your tank for dead fish. Second is overfeeding. The food the fish don't eat sinks to the bottom and rots, and rotting anything makes ammonia. Third is that you put too many fish in the tank too soon after you got it. There is a process going on in your tank called the nitrogen cycle. Not to put too fine a point on it, but fish pee has ammonia in it, like all pee does. There are bacteria in your tank that convert the ammonia to nitrites, then to nitrates, and finally to nitrogen which evaporates into the air. If you put in all the fish you want to have right after you get the tank set up, this cycle (which takes some time to get started) doesn't have a chance to get going and you get high ammonia levels. My advice would be to move the fish to a different aquarium--right now, a 5-gallon bucket with dechlorinated water in it and a power filter on it will work as long as you've got small fish--break down the tank, wash the gravel really well, set the tank back up, put "cycle aid" in it to get the nitrogen cycle started quickly, then put half the fish back in the tank in two days. After a few days put the rest of them back.
What happens to oxygen level at high altitudes?
The oxygen level remains about the same, but the density of the air is reduced.
What freezes faster water or ammonia?
Water freeze before ammonia. Ammonia need high pressure to freeze.
