Beryllium

Beryllium

Beryllium is a non-essential, toxic element that can accumulate in biological systems. The analytical values should be “not detectable“.

Possible sources of beryllium are currently unknown. In some frozen food analyses (e.g. Artemia), increased values could be found. Whether this has an effect in the aquarium or on fish could not be determined up to now, but in any case it depends on the concentration, and with long-term feeding with beryllium-contaminated frozen food, harmful concentrations in the aquarium water would be conceivable.
