What is Ammonia?

Ammonia is a chemical compound made up of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Our tropical fish experience it in two different forms: free ammonia NH3 and the ammonium ion NH4+. The makeup of the form we encounter depends on certain environmental factors within our aquariums. The form that ammonia takes also determines its toxicity to our tropical fish and other aquarium inhabitants.

Ammonia poisoning is a very real threat to your fish, especially when the tank is new and is still cycling or if the tank has been stressed and the biological filter has been upset or removed. Ammonia is a tissue irritant, causing real problems for delicate areas such as exposed gill tissue. The gill tissue responds to this irritation by hemorrhaging, with the delicate filaments thickening and clumping together
