kurtyboh said:you dont need any fish at all, you can dose or use raw shrimp, in germany they pee in their tanks to get ammonia. you dont have to have a fish live in water that will kill them, or if they do happen to survive the trials in an acid bath have an extremely shortened lifespan.
See I've heard the exact opposite u need a hardy fish to produce the ammonia
