 | Nitrite parameters |
Mogmog  Hobbyist Posts: 74 Kudos: 66 Votes: 2 Registered: 03-Sep-2004   | Wasn't sure where to put this, but I'll ask away! I was always under the impression that any nitrites at all (1-2 ppm) could be lethal to fish, and at a stretch, 10 ppm would be definitely lethal. Yet, on the quiz, (which threw me for a loop) the correct answer is that nitrites aren't lethal until they're over 20ppm. So, is the quiz right, have I just heard wrong, or what? :%) |
