How Rising Spring Temperatures Affect Freshwater Aquarium Chemistry: Dissolved Oxygen, pH Fluctuation, and Disease Risk
As ambient temperatures climb each spring, the water chemistry inside a freshwater aquarium undergoes a series of interconnected shifts that can reduce dissolved oxygen, destabilise pH, and trigger a cascade of opportunistic disease. Understanding the science behind these changes is the most effective tool aquarium owners have for protecting their fish during the season's most chemically volatile weeks.
