How to create a fish friendly environment...

Nitrates can vary, ideally you want less than 20 ppm but heavy stocking or missing a water change can send the levels up.
Some fish are more tolerant of nitrates than others.
In some areas at times the tapwater may have up to 20 ppm of nitrate Sad

Anything over 50ppm will have adverse affects on any fish in the long term.
