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

Newly established freshwater aquaria rely on development of biofilter nitrifying populations to prevent ammonia and nitrite accumulation that can negatively impact fish health. Although initial fish loads impact water chemistry of new aquaria, little is known about the corresponding impact on microbial community succession within freshwater aquarium biofilters. To address this gap, fourteen home…
