🔬 What is Nitrite?

Nitrite is produced by beneficial filtration bacteria as they break down harmful ammonia excreted by fish waste. Although nitrite is not visible to the naked eye, it is highly dangerous to fish health.

While it is less toxic than ammonia, nitrite can still cause serious stress, breathing problems, and long-term damage. Eventually, nitrite is converted into nitrate, which is much less harmful to fish.

✅ What is the Correct Nitrite Level?

There is no safe level of nitrite in an aquarium.

✔ The correct nitrite level is:
0 mg/L (ppm) at all times.

Even small amounts can harm fish, so regular testing is strongly recommended.

⚠ What to Do If Nitrite Level is High?

If nitrite is detected in your aquarium or pond water:

• 0.25 – 0.5 mg/L (ppm): Add a Filter Starter to boost beneficial bacteria.

• 1 mg/L (ppm): Perform a 25% water change.

• Above 1 mg/L (ppm): Perform a 50% water change immediately.

If any nitrite is present, use an ammonia remover to eliminate ammonia (which reduces nitrite formation). Also check other vital water parameters such as pH and ammonia to ensure overall water stability.
