Fish load impacts biofilter microbial communities and nitrifier populations during establishment of freshwater home aquaria

Alexander K Umbach, Natasha Szabolcs, Laura A. Sauder, Josh David Neufeld

This study shows that varying fish loads in freshwater aquaria affect microbial community composition and nitrifier populations, with higher loads promoting distinct microbial communities and increased ammonia and nitrite levels.
