First directly in the tap water, most areas have some level of nitrate in them, secondly its also can come from over feeding as uneaten food breaks down in the tank cuasing notrates and thirdly from bad tank hygiene, when water changing the bottom of the tank requires hoovering right to the glass at the bottom inder the substrate to remove fish waste and uneaten food, to be honest impossible with sand as a substrate. anything left underneath witll cause high nitrates again bad for the fish.
