Describe the nitrogen cycle that takes place in an aquarium
Nitrosomonas bacteria convert ammonia into nitrites, and then Nitrobacter bacteria convert the nitrites into
nitrates. Nitrates may inhibit the growth of fish, but they are not nearly as toxic as ammonia. Nitrites and
nitrates may be utilized by plants in the aquarium.
