The one chemical that is sure caused a lot of confusion among the aquarists is Phosphorus. Is Phosphorus good or bad for an aquarium? Well, it can be both, depending on the circumstances.
One of the main reasons for algae bloom is an excess level of phosphorus in the aquarium. Most of the time algae take over a tank because of nutrient imbalance in the water. Algae require the same nutrients as our beloved plants do. Algae consume nitrogen, potassium, iron and other nutrients too. But an algae bloom occurs when all these nutrients are present in excess quantities in the aquarium. As there is a large amount of leftover nutrients, algae grow quickly.
What are the sources of phosphorus?
As we know, an excess level of phosphorus tends to grow more algae. Now, the question is how phosphorus comes to our aquarium? A good source of phosphorus can be the water that is supplied by your city. In some parts of the country, water contains an excess level of phosphorus. What is this excess level? Well, anything beyond barely detectable can be excess. Another source of phosphorus can be the fertilizer that you dose in the aquarium. Almost every aquarium fertilizers contain most of the nutrients that are required by the plants. But some fertilizer brands deliberately omit phosphorus as they encourage algae growth. Another source of phosphorus is fish food. Fish food is manufactured to provide balanced nutrients to the fish. Fishes need many nutrients for healthy growth. They need protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus and many other nutrients. Almost every fish food contains 0.5 to 1.0 % phosphorus. You need to check the food label to know how much phosphorus it contains. The less phosphorus there is, the better.
So, when we provide fish food to the aquarium, fishes eat some. They discard the rest via their waste. A recent study showed that fish waste contains an excess amount of phosphorus.
Removing Phosphates from Aquarium:
=>By maintaining a light quantity of fish, we can lower the amount of phosphorus in the aquarium.
=>Overfeeding leads to excess waste in the aquarium. As a result, there will be excess phosphorus in the water column. Overfeeding also results in poor water quality. So, you need to feed your fish in small amounts. A good way to check if you are overfeeding is if there is any leftover food on the substrate. If there is, then you are overfeeding and you should decrease the amount of given food immediately.
=>Sometimes, a good amount of healthy, hungry plants is all you need to prevent excess phosphorus building up. The more plants there are in your aquarium, the more they will absorb nutrients and there won’t be any leftover nutrients to promote algae growth.
=>Perform regular water changes to prevent excess waste building up.
=>As fish foods often get trapped in the filter media of your aquarium filter, be sure to clean the filter media regularly. It will prevent trapped waste materials releasing their contaminants back into the water.

Micro Aquatic Care Instructions
xOur shop always delivers healthy shrimp and fish with the best color of their own.
However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
