G'day mates, those readings for yeserday were the only ones i done i had a busy day(not one water change, bad i know)

but the first reading for the day
ammonia: 2pmm
nitrites: 0pmm

not bad for no changes for 36 hours

after 1 change
ammonia: 1pmm
nitrites: 0pmm

 

[fatheadminnow]

Not bad.

How many days has it been since you started the fish-in cycle?

I would venture to guess, that you should start to see a NitrIte reading withing a week.

nochance for water change to busy


i was quoted this in my "40g Cichlid Tank need help identifying" topic in members pics


"Not a well stocked tank at all im afraid, you have Malawis with non Malawis, both sets of fish required totally different water setups."

whats he on about

You should be fine.

Most of the fish you have, if not all, are born and raised domestically, and have lived in different water requirements then where they are from.

Just focus on your fish-in cycle for now.

When that completes, then we can take a closer look at your fish and water requirements.

Yeah, you are going to have fish die during a fish-in cycle.

Sorry to hear that.

i wish it was the cycle, but ive got this broken down lighthouse ornament and i had the airstone

in it, it looked really good but my fishy decided he wanted to make it his new home and didnt

the bubbles would trap and kill him. (he drowned)

 

[fatheadminnow]

Thats too bad, and kind of ironic that a fish drowned.
