What is difference between Aerobic vs Anaerobic bacteria?

Aerobic bacteria in aquariums thrive in well-oxygenated environments, such as filter media and substrate surfaces, contributing to the initial stages of the nitrogen cycle by converting ammonia to nitrites and then nitrates. On the other hand, anaerobic bacteria, found in low-oxygen zones like deep substrate layers, play a crucial role in completing the nitrogen cycle by converting nitrates into nitrogen gas or other end products. Balancing these bacteria is essential for maintaining water quality and a healthy aquatic environment in aquariums.
