The only reason our tanks don't become vats of toxic ooze that kill our fish is because a bacterial process going on within the tank.
Laymans terms
Fish waste = Ammonia -> Bacter eats this there waste =Nitrite -> Different Bactera eat Nitrite and their waste = Nitrate. You remove Nitrate with water changes.
Please do a lot more reseach before investing in any other fish, this concept is one of the most important concepts to understand in the hobby.
