Good Update

[Montizuma]

So i woke up this moring and took a amonia reading and i was happy to see that it dropped to .25ppm over the night. Should i do another water change this afternoon to bring it down more or should i let the bacteria grow?

Are you doing fishless cycling? If you are doing that..you do not have to change the water for a while. The only thing you have to monitor is your ammonia when it get to 0 you have to dose it again and keep checking for the nitrite. My tank is still cyicling and it is almost two weeks now and I haven't change my water yet.

no its has fish in it

well the good update has turned sour i came home to day after school and walked in my room and noticed my larger clown Loach died. I think he/she couldn't handle all the stress of the water changes . My other fish seem to be doing good am gonna do a 25 percent water change and check the water stats.

shouldnt have clown loach in a new tank at all. Not very hardy and their skin/scales can't handles many chemicals

 

[Montizuma]

Stress from water change??!?



More like stress from bad water quality...


Any ammonia over 0 (which is none) is toxic to fish, and can potentially kill them. Thats what did it. Betcha' any money

if doing a fish in cycle you are going to have to be constant and diligent with your water changes.

Bad water quality is going to stress your fish out alot more than water changes.

Yeah i know i do a water change everyday at about 1:30
