All aquarium livestock produces ammonia, how much build up depends on how many animals are kept and how much you feed versus how efficient your filters are. This is why it is so important to slowly introduce livestock over many months to your aquarium; it allows the biological filter bacteria to breed that consume the ammonia as it produced.

I have ammonia in a mature aquarium, why?
Sometime bacteria colonies can be affected and population’s crash, this can be caused by water parameter fluctuations or pollutants; when this happens it is likely that levels will self-correct but an eye should be kept on levels. Ensure that your filter system is adequate and functioning correctly.

I have ammonia in a new aquarium, why?
Often too many fish are introduced or too much food is added to an aquarium causing free ammonia to rise. If allowed to rise too far the ammonia will reach toxic levels and kill the fish. This is often referred to new tank syndrome. Ensure that your filter system is adequate and functioning correctly.
