Ammonia?

[Fishy friend2]

I would just like to know exactly what ammonia is. I know that it is produced bug fish's waste but does anybody have more info on it?

Ammonia + bleach = mustard gas! Used to have a dog who peed everywhere and tried to clean it up with bleach. Learned the hard way. Got rid of the dog. Feel free to move on to the serious answers and ignore this one.

That's a very clever dog - how did he get the top off the bottle of bleach without an opposable thumb?

Ammonia is the common name for the chemical NH3 - one atom of nitrogen bonded with 3 atoms of hydrogen. I would suggest looking it up on Wikipedia, but.....

Ammonia is a nutrient that contains nitrogen and hydrogen, its produced by fish excrement, fish respiration, excess food, rotting plant remnants and even any dead fish that cannot be found.
