28.56 and 1.60 is what I found

I should say these numbers might not be 100% - I was picking the colour which most closely matched the one on my test: The ammonia test was a separate pack of strips and the colour i got wasn’t just quite as pale as the one shown for zero, but not as dark as 0.5. I am in Scotland though and...

Ok I’ll ke eep going with water changes. I’ll replace plastic plants with some real too. The readings were all in the ‘safe’ brackets a couple of weeks ago but clearly somethings gone wrong. Yes I realised that the pet shop’s advice was horrible when I posted asking another question in the...

Ok. I’ve got aquarium salt in there now. I’ll need to go tomorrow and buy ammonia binding conditioner. I hadn’t tested the water for a couple of weeks as everything had seemed fine. I was testing regularly when I first got the fish and a couple of weeks ago when One seemed to be getting...
